Gym Waste
Running a gym involves many similar challenges to operating any other business, including arranging effective waste management. Creating and maintaining a safe and hygienic environment for members to work out in is important. You must ensure all rubbish produced in your gym is stored, removed, and disposed of properly to achieve this.
There are more than 3,000 gyms in the UK with around 11 million people holding a gym membership. They can create lots of waste – from snack wrappers and drink bottles discarded by gym goers to broken and old workout equipment and machines. It should all be disposed of safely to protect members, the business, and the environment.
Get rid of waste from your gym legally, affordably, and responsibly with Business Waste. We can arrange collections of waste from gyms anywhere across the UK, whether you run a small independent gym, a specialist boxing facility, or a franchise.

Gym waste management
Strong gym waste management involves having the right types, sizes, and number of bins in place to separate and store rubbish while keeping the space clean and hygienic. Regular removals to prevent bins from overflowing and bad odours from developing are also key. It’s all about creating an efficient and cost-effective waste management plan.
Start improving your gym waste management with a waste audit. Our experts can review your operations and work out the types and volumes of waste your gym creates. This information helps feed an effective waste management plan to determine the right number and sizes of bins you need with a suitable removal schedule.
Regular removals are available with daily, weekly, and fortnightly waste collections. These can be arranged at quieter times in the day or after your gym closes to avoid disrupting members. Combine the best bins and collection schedule for a cost-effective solution so your gym waste management runs smoothly.
All waste removed from your gym with Business Waste is kept away from landfill. We aim to recycle and recover as much rubbish as possible. You receive a free duty of care certificate confirming the disposal method for added peace of mind. Contact our team for help with your gym waste management today.
Gym bins
Most gyms have small bins for bits of general waste and mixed recycling from members to dispose of before, during, and after a workout. These should be emptied regularly into larger bins outside the gym to keep the place clean and hygienic. Using different bins reduces the risk of contamination and improves recycling.
We can provide a wide range of free bins to separate and store your gym waste. There are no bin hire or delivery fees – you only pay for collection. This includes commercial waste bags and 120 litre wheelie bins that suit small gyms to static waste containers for those with space.
Discover some common bins used for gyms.

Types of gym waste
Gyms can produce a variety of waste materials, from products disposed of by members to damaged and broken items in the building itself. Having a range of bins in place to separate and dispose of each waste type responsibly is vital to ensure as much as possible is recycled and recovered.
These are some of the common types of gym waste:
- General waste – food scraps, disposable paper towels, and non-recyclable snack wrappers often discarded pre- or post-workout.
- Plastic waste – empty drink bottles and plastic food containers.
- Dry mixed recycling – a combination of empty metal drink cans, plastic bottles, paper and cardboard packaging.
- WEEE – broken electrical gym machines and devices, as well as batteries.
- Food waste – significant amounts of food waste, usually if the gym sells fresh food onsite.
- Textile waste – old towels, damaged gym clothing, and ripped padding from benches.
- Hazardous waste – cleaning products used by the cleaners and others to wipe down benches and equipment.
- Sanitary waste – waste from any sanitary bins in the changing rooms and toilets.
