Does Waster Only Provide Services to Businesses?

A common question we receive is whether Waster provides waste and recycling services to households. The short answer is: yes — Waster only provides services to businesses. Residential waste and recycling are managed by local councils, while Waster focuses on flexible, low-cost commercial services.

✅ Who Waster Provides Services For

  • Small businesses – cafés, restaurants, offices, retail shops.

  • Medium businesses – schools, warehouses, clinics, gyms, and commercial facilities.

  • Large sites – shopping centres, industrial sites, and multi-tenant complexes.

  • Specialist sectors – healthcare (sharps and sanitary bins), hospitality (grease traps), and professional services (confidential paper).

❌ Who Waster Does Not Provide Services For

  • Households – residential properties must use their local council waste collection.

  • Individual residents – Waster does not supply general wheelie bins or domestic recycling.

  • Illegal dumping or one-off household rubbish removal – these must go through skip hire or council bulky waste programs.

Why Waster Focuses on Businesses

  • Different service needs – businesses require larger bins, more frequent pickups, and specialist waste streams.

  • Regulatory compliance – commercial waste must meet strict environmental and health regulations.

  • Cost efficiency – bundling multiple services (general waste, recycling, sanitary, grease trap) makes business waste management cheaper and more efficient.

  • Flexibility – businesses benefit from Waster’s no lock-in contracts, which isn’t practical in a residential setting.

Household Context

  • Households should contact their local council for waste, recycling, and organics collections.

  • For extra needs, councils usually offer hard rubbish pickups or provide information about local recycling drop-off points.
