Every business operating in Manchester is legally required to manage its commercial waste in line with UK environmental legislation. Failure to comply with these laws can result in substantial fines and legal action. With new regulations such as Simpler Recycling (2025) coming into effect, it’s now more important than ever for businesses to understand their responsibilities and work with a licensed provider for waste collection and disposal.

Waste Management Manchester
Under Simpler Recycling, businesses must now follow consistent waste separation requirements, ensuring recyclables such as paper, card, plastic, metal and glass are correctly sorted and collected. These changes apply to virtually all businesses, regardless of size, and failure to comply can result in hefty fines, enforcement action, and reputational damage.

- Stored securely
- Collected by a licensed waste carrier
- Accompanied by appropriate waste documentation
- Properly sorted, where required by law (including under Simpler Recycling)

How many times can I visit the tip of Manchester?
- Residents are permitted to make up to 52 visits to the tip in Manchester within a year, provided they are using a standard car. In case you find yourself needing more visits due to ongoing home DIY projects, the policy ensures that these additional visits will be averaged out over the entire year.
- For traders, specific limitations are in place. Vans weighing under 3.5 tonnes are restricted to 18 visits per year, while those exceeding 3.5 tonnes are further limited to 12 visits annually. This framework is designed to strike a balance between meeting the needs of residents and traders while ensuring responsible use of the facility.
- When it comes to business trade and waste, it’s crucial to note that Recycling Centres strictly accept household waste and recycling. Business or trade waste should be directed to a SUEZ waste transfer facility. Proper PPE must be worn during these visits.
Every business in the UK that generates waste has a legal ‘duty of care’ to manage it appropriately until it’s either recycled or disposed of. Businesses must register to transport their waste and maintain the necessary paperwork for at least two years. SUEZ operates eight waste transfer stations to facilitate this process.
To streamline your business operations, minimise costs, and ensure compliance with all legal norms regarding waste management, we recommend seeking the services of a professional commercial waste management company.
