There are lots of options available to dispose of waste from a business. Waste from a business, sometimes known as commercial waste or trade waste, cannot be disposed of in household waste bins or street litter bins.
If you own a business, you must make your own arrangements for the disposal of your business waste.

Most of Staffordshire County Council’s recycling centres accept business waste from small traders.
