General Waste

Here at Waste Sense, we encourage recycling and recovery where possible. But we also understand that this isn’t always an option, which is why we also cater to the general waste stream. General waste encompasses all the materials that can’t be recovered or recycled.

If your business has waste that requires collection and disposal, we’ll find the perfect service for you. Let us source best-practice solutions for your business.

What is general waste?

General waste is a global name used to describe hard to recycle, landfilled streams such as waxed cardboard, strapping ties, food containers and tissue paper. This waste stream also includes food waste, mixed office waste, commercial and industrial waste and non-recyclable packaging material.

Including general waste collection services as part of a total waste solution is cost-effective and allows your business to improve its environmental performance.
