Credit Accounts Mixed General Waste Collection
Did you know UK businesses generate over 27 million tonnes of commercial waste each year, with general waste accounting for nearly half? Managing and reducing this non-recyclable waste stream is key to improving sustainability and meeting environmental targets
What is General Waste?
General waste refers to everyday non-recyclable materials that are produced as part of regular business activities. While this waste cannot be directly recycled through conventional streams like paper, cardboard, or glass, it is still processed responsibly.
At the Mick George Group, we divert as much general waste as possible from landfill through advanced waste recovery and energy-from-waste (EfW) facilities. This means your general waste contributes to generating renewable energy rather than harming the environment.
By using our general waste recycling services, your business reduces its carbon footprint while ensuring compliance with waste legislation.
Mick George Recycling can provide a wide range of free general waste recycling bins for businesses throughout Cambridgeshire, Peterborough, Northamptonshire, Leicestershire and Milton Keynes areas, with no delivery or hire charges – you only pay for collection.
Available in various sizes with flexible collection schedules, we can help whether you just want a few small general waste bins for the office or bigger containers that you can store outside your restaurant or shop.
