Competitive prices

WasteSavers offers a competitive, transparent pricing structure - the price you see is the price you pay - with no hidden extras.

Happy to advise

Our dedicated team of officers is on hand to help you with advice and guidance on disposing of your trade waste and recycling.

A local service for you

We have a modern locally maintained fleet of vehicles offering a reliable collection service and we know the Borough, giving us the edge over many of our competitors.

WasteSavers will help you meet your legal waste disposal duty and make your business more environmentally friendly.

Fulfilling legal requirements

Section 34 of the Environment Protection Act seeks to ensure commercial businesses store and dispose of their waste responsibly. This means you must:

• Store the waste on your premises in appropriate containers
• Transfer waste to a waste carrier or operator who is properly authorised or licensed to handle and dispose the type and quantity of waste involved
• Have a waste transfer note (duty of care).

WasteSavers gives you the assurance that your trade waste is removed in a sustainable way and at the same time you will receive a waste transfer note for all waste we remove from your business.

Recycle at work as you do at home

The Borough has the second highest recycling rate in Hampshire, so we are experts at helping you to dispose of your waste ethically and responsibly. Contact us for more information.

What can you recycle?

• All paper and card
• Cans and tins

What can't be recycled?

• Waterproof coated cartons
• Other refuse

Sustainable waste management

All residual waste is taken to the Portsmouth-based incinerator and helps to generate electricity for the National Grid.  It is not sent to landfill sites here or overseas so you can be sure that your waste is disposed of in a sustainable way.
