Stevenage: The Heart of Hertfordshire

Located close to the centre of Hertfordshire and with excellent links to London, Stevenage is a thriving town that dates its history back to Roman times. And it’s clear to see that Stevenage is proud of its heritage – there is a section of the town known as Stevenage Old Town that has maintained its authentic feel, with a variety of quaint and independent businesses.

Despite its modest size, Stevenage is home to over 3000 businesses, with its most prevalent sectors being construction and the professional industry. It also boasts a considerable presence in the science and aerospace fields, with several leading worldwide brands such as Airbus and MBDA calling Stevenage home.

Stevenage Waste Management Categories

With such a diverse range of businesses to serve, it is no surprise to find that Waste Direct is well-positioned to make a huge difference to Stevenage-based businesses. Much of the waste that we work with on a daily basis will fall into one of the below categories.

General waste, also referred to as commercial waste, is something all businesses have to deal with, regardless of sector. It is the typical day-to-day waste that is produced from all ad hoc activities. Most general waste is suitable for landfill rather than recycling.

With a rate of 52% across all of Hertfordshire, recycling remains a primary goal of Hertfordshire County Council. Many businesses are still unfamiliar, and often surprised, over just how much of their daily waste can actually be recycled. We work with our customers to help them learn this and improve their own recycling rates.

Food waste is never nice to deal with, but it’s actually becoming one of the most important forms of recycling out there. For all businesses in the hospitality and catering industries, we recycle food waste and ensure that it is turned into composting and biogas, a valuable source of renewable energy.

All businesses that deal with sensitive chemicals, pesticides, and other types of hazardous materials, will know that it is a type of waste that needs to be treated carefully and professionally. With our network of expert disposal partners across the country, we are perfectly placed to help businesses with their hazardous waste.

A lot of businesses are still unfamiliar about what to do with their broken electrical items – many will simply take them to the tip and forget about them. But electrical devices are another important source of recycling. And, in line with Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) legislation, they should be handled appropriately.

All large-scale building projects will produce waste and debris – it’s something that is unavoidable. For businesses in the construction industry, we are able to provide the necessary bins, skips, and containers for large-scale removal projects. We also offer flexible scheduling, as waste from these sites is often variable.

The Benefits of Professional Waste Management in Stevenage

All sensible businesses are always looking for ways to improve their business. Waste management is often overlooked, or not seen as that important. But from our years of experience working with a huge variety of businesses, we firmly believe that committing to a dedicated waste management plan will have the following benefits for the business.

Time and Cost Improvements

Businesses are always looking out for ways of improving their bottom lines. An inconsistent approach to waste management often leads to excess costs such as hidden collection fees and penalties for poor processes. We help our customers avoid these costs. And once the plan is up and running, you’ll be free to concentrate on other areas of the business.

Better Understanding of Compliance

Stevenage’s waste management policies are mostly informed by the Environmental Protection Act (1990), as well as wider legislation adopted by Hertfordshire County Council. It can be a bit complicated to navigate. We ensure that our partners have a full understanding of their obligations.

Good for the Environment

Most responsible businesses want to do their bit to help the environment. A detailed waste management plan can help businesses achieve this. What’s more, businesses who commit to this will become more appealing to customers who share these values, which will have the knock-on effect of better revenues and reputation.

Workforce Safety

Businesses who commit to the responsible upkeep of their premises will find that their employees are more enthusiastic about coming into work. No one wants to work in an untidy or safe environment. An in-depth waste management program can help businesses organise their collections and remove hazards quickly and efficiently.

Stevenage Waste Management Audits

A lot of businesses, particularly those that have been operating for some time, can become stuck in their ways. This can be problematic when it comes to waste management, as policies and expectations are constantly changing. Some businesses might not know where to start when it comes to changing things up.

To help with this, Waste Direct offers a waste management audit to all new customers. We’ve found this to be an invaluable tool to enable us to get a deep understanding of your business. Through this audit, we will learn what your business is doing well and where things could improve, as well as the necessary waste and disposal actions you need to commit to.

We are also available for on-site premise visits – many of our customers appreciate this, particularly if they have complex waste needs.

Waste Direct’s Comprehensive Disposal Process

At Waste Direct, we understand that waste management does not need to be complicated. Even if you’re a business that deals with many different types of waste, we will use our tried-and-tested process to streamline your waste management, leaving you free to concentrate on other areas of operation.

  1. Auditing and Planning – for all our customers, we want to find out as much as we can about your business, whether that’s through an initial consultation or a more in-depth audit. We can offer to visit your site premises if you wish for us to do so. We will then take all of the information gathered, and turn it into a tailored waste management plan.
  2. Organisation – once the plan is in place, we will send across the necessary bins and containers should you require them. These will be delivered at a time that suits you. Then we will help to make sure that all of your recycling and general waste is organised, ready for collection.
  3. Collection and Disposal – when everything has been organised, we will collect the waste – again, this will be according to your schedule. If you have waste that requires special attention, we will use one of our professional partners to come and collect. We will then dispose of all of your waste and recycling in a safe and efficient manner.
  4. Reporting and Support – many of our customers want to see evidence of their efforts. That’s why we offer detailed reporting across several metrics to help businesses track their progress. We also offer ongoing support for all customers, and we are on-hand if businesses wish to discuss changes to their waste management plan.
