Trade Waste

Does the Council collect Commercial (trade) Waste?

If requested by a local business the council is legally required to provide a collection service. It does not have to provide this collection service itself, and this Council will discharge its responsibility by using one of the contractors named below. The Council is able to levy a charge for this service, and this will include costs over and above those of collection and disposal such as invoicing, Duty of Care paperwork, individual weighing and other administration such as officer time. The Council has a legal responsibility to recover all costs in relation to the collection and disposal of commercial waste.

If you wish the Council to collect your commercial waste please contact:
• by telephone on 01992 564608
• by email to wastemanagement@eppingforestdc.gov.uk

The Council does not provide Agricultural or Industrial Waste Collections. These services maybe available from the Contractors listed below, please contact them direct for details.

Who can I use to collect my commercial waste?

You can use any registered waste carrier to provide the required Duty of Care and to collect and dispose of your waste.
