Our trade waste service is designed for everyday business waste. This includes wheelie bin collections, food waste caddies, recycling, cardboard, glass where available, and general trade waste.
For trade waste enquiries, call the EMS Trade Waste team on 0330 551 3601.
Regular Trade Waste Collections for Businesses
Every business produces waste differently. Some need a small weekly collection, while others need multiple bins collected several times a week.
EMS can help you choose the right containers and collection schedule based on your site, your waste type and the amount of waste you produce. We aim to make the process straightforward, with practical advice from a local team that understands business waste.
Our trade waste collections can include:
- General trade waste
- Wheelie bin collections
- Food waste caddy collections
- Dry mixed recycling
- Cardboard collections
- Glass collections where available
- Regular scheduled collections
- Support for single-site and multi-site businesses
Whether you are setting up a new business waste service or looking to change provider, the EMS Trade Waste team can help.
Wheelie Bin Collections
Wheelie bins are a practical and tidy way to manage regular trade waste.
They are suitable for many types of business, including offices, shops, cafés, pubs, restaurants, workshops, salons, warehouses and shared commercial sites. EMS can advise on the right bin size and collection frequency so your waste does not build up between collections.
Wheelie bins can be used for different waste streams depending on your requirements, including general waste, recycling, cardboard and glass where available.
If you are not sure what size bin your business needs, our team can talk through your waste levels and recommend a sensible option.
Food Waste Caddy Collections
Food waste needs to be handled properly, especially for businesses in hospitality, catering, education and care.
EMS can provide food waste caddies for businesses that produce regular food waste but do not need a large container. They are easy to store, simple for staff to use and can be collected as part of a regular trade waste collection schedule.
Food waste caddy collections are useful for:
- Cafés
- Restaurants
- Pubs
- Hotels
- Schools
- Nurseries
- Care homes
- Staff canteens
- Food retailers
Keeping food waste separate can also help reduce smells, keep general waste cleaner and improve how waste is managed on site.
Recycling Collections
Separating recycling from general waste can help your business manage waste more efficiently.
EMS can provide recycling collections for suitable dry mixed recycling, cardboard and other recyclable materials depending on your location and collection requirements.
Recycling collections are ideal for businesses that regularly produce packaging, paper, cardboard, plastics and mixed recyclable waste. This is common in offices, retail units, warehouses, trade counters and hospitality businesses.
Our team can advise on what can be collected and how best to separate waste on your site.
Cardboard Collections
Cardboard can take up a lot of space if it is left in general waste bins.
Many businesses produce regular cardboard waste from deliveries, packaging, stock movement and day-to-day operations. EMS can provide cardboard collection options to help keep your site clear and reduce the amount of bulky material going into your general trade waste.
This is particularly useful for:
- Shops
- Offices
- Warehouses
- Trade counters
- Hospitality businesses
- Distribution and storage sites
Glass Collections
For businesses that produce regular glass waste, EMS may be able to provide glass collection services depending on your area and requirements.
Glass collections are commonly used by pubs, restaurants, cafés, hotels, clubs and other hospitality businesses. Having a separate glass collection can help keep your general waste bins safer, cleaner and easier to manage.
