Commercial wastes

This section defines 'commercial waste' and outlines the procedure for obtaining our agreement to dispose of commercial waste at one of our sites.

Commercial waste is defined as:

'Waste arising from commercial premises excluding wastewater from businesses preparing food and drink for consumption on the premises and sewage.'
