Recycling Commercial Waste

Are you spending more money than necessary on the disposal of waste?

Council offers free 1-to-1 support to local businesses, helping them to manage recycling and waste disposal in the most cost-efficient way,

Our Recycling Team can come and take a look at the waste a business is producing and help with the implementation of recycling best practice. A small change in the way you recycle could save your business money every year.

Please call 0300 013 3333 option 3 or email recycling@ardsandnorthdown.gov.uk for more information / to book a visit.

From 1 April 2019, the model for the collection and disposal of waste from the Council's current trade waste customers is changing. This means that general waste will be collected on a fortnightly basis. Please download the FAQ document for more information: Recycling Commercial Waste - FAQs (PDF) [189KB](opens new window)
