    Commercial Refuse Service

    Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council's Commercial Refuse Service has been operating in the borough for over forty years, during which time our level of experience has made us the obvious choice for over 1000 businesses in the borough.
    We operate a local service, with a dedicated collection team based in Shrewsbury, including a Commercial Waste Officer who can assist in all trade business requirements.
    The advantages are simple but effective - flexibility, reliability, and excellent local knowledge all help create a service that can be tailored for any business's needs.

    Every business producing any amount of waste, however small, must ensure that they are disposing of their waste in the correct manner. Unlike domestic properties, where the charge for refuse collection is included in your council tax, business rates do not cover waste collection or disposal.

     
    SABC's Commercial Refuse Service is one of many licensed waste carriers operating in the borough.
     
    As a local authority we are obliged to offer businesses a waste collection service or arrange for one to be undertaken.
     
    Businesses may also arrange for one of the other service providers to collect their waste and arrange for its disposal.
     
    If you decide to engage another contractor, be sure that you check they are licensed to carry your waste and they supply a duty of care transfer note for its removal. Without these checks, you may be breaching environmental legislation which could initiate a prosecution, fine or even prison.

    Alternatively, businesses can transport their commercial waste themselves to a site that is licensed to receive and dispose of it. A new Transfer Station and Recycling site at Battlefield, Shrewsbury is due for completion in early 2005 which will accept commercial waste. Please check with the Environment Agency as to whether you would require a licence to carry the waste yourselves.

    The links to the left of the screen will help explain how as a business you can dispose of your waste responsibly and efficiently using SABC's Commercial Refuse Service, as well as providing general information and assistance.

    If you have any further queries, comments or suggestions please contact our commercial waste team on 01743 281158
