Borough of Telford & Wrekin

Business Recycling Information

Information for companies wanting to dispose of their waste.

If you run a business in the Telford and Wrekin area, these pages can help you deal with your waste and recycling. Free advice on recycling and waste management is also available from Envirowise.

Your responsibilities

As a business owner you are responsible for finding a waste management company to take your waste. You have a duty to make sure the person receiving your waste is authorised to do so. You can do this by asking to see their waste management licence or reference number. This is called your 'Duty of Care'.

To help you identify what you must do to dispose of your waste we have provided a list of do's and don'ts.

We have a duty to arrange commercial waste collections for businesses in the Borough, if asked to do so. We do this through our waste management contractor, Telford and Wrekin Services, although there are many other waste contractors who can provide the same service.
