Waste Management for Cleaners

It’s the job of cleaners to clear up all sorts of waste from offices, shops, restaurants, and other buildings and spaces across the UK. Once rubbish is collected it must be transported by licensed waste carriers to an appropriate recycling or disposal facility. This is when cleaning companies require professional waste management services.

At Business Waste we can help cleaning companies anywhere in the UK get rid of any kind of rubbish they create and collect legally and responsibly. We provide free bins to separate and store different waste streams – there are no hire or delivery fees, you only pay for collections.

Cleaning company waste services

Cleaners clear up many kinds of waste but also create their own as they work. This includes empty bottles of cleaning products, damaged and used protective clothing, broken mops and brushes, and more. Separating and storing waste types safely is important to ensure they’re disposed of responsibly.

Start with a waste audit to review what waste streams and volumes you produce as an individual cleaner or a cleaning company. This should be straightforward if you clean the same spaces but may be challenging should you work across various properties. Our expert team can help with your waste audit and advise on the right direction.

Depending on where you clean, you may be able to dispose of some rubbish on the premises. However, waste that cleaners generate is commercial waste and should be stored separately. This is especially relevant if the place being cleaned doesn’t have appropriate bins for the waste type – such as hazardous waste bins/bags for some cleaning products.

We provide free bins to separate waste materials for your cleaning company to reduce the risk of contamination. Daily, weekly, and fortnightly collections by licensed waste carriers are available for safe, legal, and responsible removal and disposal. You’ll receive a free duty of care certificate confirming this too. Contact us online for more information.

Types of cleaning waste

Cleaning companies can create and collect a wide variety of waste materials. It often depends on the type of building, facility, or space being cleaned alongside the items and products used to clean it. For example, cleaning a laboratory isn’t the same as cleaning a supermarket and will generate different waste streams.

Plenty of similar kinds of waste will be created by many cleaners and these are some common types of cleaning waste:

  • Hazardous waste – lots of cleaning products are types of hazardous waste due to their chemical components, so they should be kept separate and incinerated.
  • Liquid waste – large-scale cleaning operations can produce various types of liquid waste.
  • Textile waste – used and damaged protective clothing and towels are examples of textile waste from cleaning activities.
  • General waste – food scraps from bins, used paper towels, and non-recyclable packaging.
  • Dry mixed recycling – usually a combination of paper, cardboard, plastic, and metal packaging.
