Each business is responsible for ensuring that all waste is disposed of appropriately. This must be done by a legally licensed waste service operator. In London, there are many suppliers that provide this service and it is normal as a business to wonder what criteria I should follow to choose one. At Prada Contract Services we explain 5 easy steps to select your waste collection provider and how to do it properly.
- Location is an important factor and to start you should look for a provider that has coverage in your area. In many cases, it is possible that your local area does not appear within the coverage zones. However, in many cases, it is possible to call and look at the alternatives the company can offer. At Prada Contract Services these are the locations we operate in: If your area is not on the map, send us a message and we will check if we can make an exception for you!
- You should also ask yourself how often you would like the service to be carried out. At Prada Contract Services, the service can be from one-time to scheduled collections depending on your business needs.
- Identify the type of waste and ask yourself if it needs any special treatment. At Prada Contract Services we suggest categorising them according to general waste, food waste, glass waste, commercial waste and recycling waste. It is also important to check the dimensions of the waste or whether it can be recycled.
- A determining factor in choosing the right waste supplier is the reliability and environmental credentials of the company. It should be a company that has a good track record in waste collection. Pay close attention to whether it has good reviews or several years of experience. Another good sign is the company’s partnerships and certifications. For example, at Prada Contract Services, we receive advice from and have alliances with bodies such as FSB, the Federation of Window Cleaners, the British Institute of Cleaning Science, UKAS Management Systems, among others.
- The contract and agreements should also be taken into account when defining your waste collection provider. Prices and services offered should also be taken into account. At Prada Contract Services we offer competitive prices, if you would like to know about them, we would be happy to discuss your business needs and we will contact you for a quote.
After reading this you may ask yourself, why do I need a supplier and not do it myself?
While this is a more cost-effective and cost-saving alternative for your business, it can be challenging and can present problems for your business. This can be challenging and problematic for your staff. This is because you must know how to properly distribute the waste and be certified as a registered waste collection carrier. In other words, it loads your business with other operational requirements that are often not worth it.
