General Waste

At Fresh Start, we understand that recycling or recovering all rubbish isn’t possible. Unfortunately, there is still general waste we can’t yet segregate into recyclable streams.

To help you keep your site clean, tidy and well organised, we can help you source the right container. Whether you need wheelie bins such as 2 or 4 wheeled waste bins, waste skips, front-end loaders, roll-on roll-offs, compactors or balers, we have the ideal waste storage solution for your business.

No matter how large or small your requirements are, we’ll be able to tailor a service to suit you. As part of your waste audit, we’ll suggest a collection schedule that not only compliments your needs but also complies fully with current UK legislation.

What Our Clients Say

Simpler Recycling

On 31st March 2025 Simpler Recycling Laws came into effect. All businesses with 10 or more full time equivalent employees must now segregate their waste streams at source. This is to allow for easier and more efficient recycling. Schools, hospitals and commercial enterprises must all comply with these updated laws and separate the following waste:

Plastic, glass, metal (cans, tins and foil), cartons & tetrapaks, paper and cardboard, and food waste.

Businesses with less than 10 employees are advised to separate any materials but will not be subject to the legislation until March 2027.

Fresh Start can ensure you are totally compliant with Simpler Recycling rules and regulations, supporting you with general waste management and sustainability across your company. We have already won two prestigious awards for our work on Simpler Recycling, including an International Green Apple Award for our Simpler Recycling for Schools campaign.

Energy Recovery

As a carbon conscious company, we have always been committed to recycling as much as possible to avoid landfill and moving customers up the waste hierarchy.

Once we have removed as many recyclable items as possible at source or through processing it at our state-of-the-art recycling centre, the residual waste is taken to a North-West based energy from waste facility where the energy from the remaining waste is harnessed to power electricity generators, resulting in green electricity.

What this means is waste is diverted from landfill, which is produces methane which is a greenhouse gas and a global warming contributor and instead is put to good use, rather than being put in a hole in the ground.

Recycling

Even the rubbish that you cannot recycle are turned into something useful when it is processed as Refuse Derived Fuel and used to generate electricity!

What’s more our state of the art recycling facility maximises the levels of recycling even further.
