Disposal of business or commercial waste 

If you run a business, then you are legally responsible for the correct storage, sorting and disposal of any waste that comes from it and a record of each transfer of waste for a minimum of two years.

So what actually counts as business waste?

The Uk Government stipulates that any waste that comes from a commercial activity is business waste. 
This even extends to the waste generated in space you may use in your own home  to run a business.

You are also responsible for ensuring that whoever disposes of your waste is legally allowed to take it.

Business waste also includes any waste that comes from:

  • construction
  • demolition
  • industry
  • agriculture
