Efficient waste management for offices is essential for a few reasons: regulatory compliance, meeting your recycling and sustainability goals, and creating a tidy, productive workspace. Every office space, from a large office in central London to a smaller space with limited bin storage, needs a waste solution that works. 360 Waste Management provides money saving and space saving compliant solutions tailored to all sizes of modern business.
Typical office and commercial waste types
Office environments produce a surprising mix of commercial waste types, including:
- General commercial waste – everyday rubbish that can’t be recycled
- Commercial food waste – from kitchenettes, lunch leftovers and coffee grounds
- Commercial DMR (Dry Mixed Recycling) – paper, cardboard, tins and plastic
- Commercial plastic recycling – soft plastic wrap, bottles, packaging
- Commercial glass recycling – from drinks bottles, catered events or communal areas
- Confidential waste – documents, HR files and financial data that needs secure disposal.
Be aware of food waste regulatory changes
Simpler Recycling regulations came into force in March 2025. They mean that businesses with 10+ employees must now separate food waste for dedicated collection. If your office generates more than 5kg of food waste per week, you’ll need a reliable commercial food waste collection service to stay compliant. Tea bags, coffee grounds and out-of-date fridge contents soon add up!
Keep confidential waste secure
Office-based businesses also need to think carefully about confidential waste collection. Payroll, legal and financial paperwork all need to be dealt with securely, not least to meet your GDPR and compliance obligations. Shredding alone may not be enough. Our confidential waste collection service includes secure bins, tamper-proof containers and certified disposal. These are all ideal for your sensitive information and peace of mind.
Waste solutions for small spaces
Space around office buildings is often limited, especially in London and other cities. Storing bulky bins out the back isn’t always an option. That’s why we offer space-saving bins like:
- 660 litre wheelie bins – perfect for DMR or food waste
- 1100 litre wheelie bins – ideal for high-volume general waste
- Smaller size 240 litre and 360 litre wheelie bins – very popular with commercial premises
- Commercial bin bags – great for areas where wheelie bins won’t fit.
You can pair these compact waste solutions with a flexible office waste collection time. Not only do we supply the bins free of charge, but we help you manage your waste efficiently without cluttering corridors or fire exits.
Navigating waste collection challenges
If you’re in the capital – or any city or town centre – you’ll be familiar with these logistical headaches: narrow service roads, strict noise limits and restricted access hours. But because we specialise in business waste collection in busy urban settings, we take care of this for you. Our discreet, low-noise vehicles and tailored collection windows ensure minimal disruption, whether you need late-night collections or early morning pick-ups.
