Can businesses recycle waste as well as householders?
Commercial premises can certainly recycle a wide range of materials. They can organise a recycling merchant to collect the material from the premises. Advice on organising this is available in the Waste Wise Business Manual and on the website www.egeneration.co.uk/surrey. It is worth noting that the commercial organisations must pay for the collection and disposal of their waste and are therefore not allowed to take waste to Household Waste & Recycling Sites or use local household recycling banks as these services are paid for by the tax payer. If all businesses used the household waste services the cost to the taxpayer would go up.
