Top Questions to Ask a Waste Management Company

Hiring a waste management company to collect and sort your commercial waste is not only convenient but a great way of becoming a greener company. But, before hiring anyone it’s a good idea to do some research.

Here are some of the most important questions that you should ask a waste management company.

What waste management services do you offer?

One of the first things you need to establish is which services are available. Most companies will offer skip hire or secure containers where rubbish can be placed before its collected and sorted. Depending on your needs, there may be various sizes to choose from to suit the type and volume of waste you’re disposing of.

What kind of waste do you collect?

Not all waste management companies will collect certain types of waste so always ask beforehand. Construction waste and commonly recycled materials including wood, plastic and green waste are usually fine, however, hazardous waste, for example, requires specialist care.

Will the rubbish be recycled?

As a business, it’s your responsibility to take care of your waste so knowing that it’s going to be recycled will lower your carbon footprint. Ask about the steps after the rubbish is collected - do they have their own sorting site? A professional company should be able to tell you exactly what happens once they collect your waste.

How much do you charge?

Price is also an important factor to consider as you need to find a company within your budget. Pricing should always be clear and honest so find out exactly what you’re getting for the price to determine if it’s a cost-effective decision.
