Commercial Waste Services Durham

Every business in Durham, regardless of size or sector, is legally required to manage and dispose of its commercial waste responsibly. This is not simply a matter of keeping your premises tidy - it’s the law. Failure to comply with UK waste regulations can result in hefty fines, legal action, and reputational damage.From correct waste segregation to full documentation, commercial waste disposal must be handled in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act 1990, Waste Duty of Care Regulations, and, most recently, the Simpler Recycling reforms introduced by the UK Government. These new rules, rolling out across England, will require all businesses to separate key recyclable materials such as glass, metal, plastic, paper, card, and food waste - regardless of the size or type of the business.As regulations become stricter, it’s never been more important for Durham businesses to partner with a reliable and compliant waste management provider to stay ahead of legal obligations and avoid unnecessary penalties.
