Ealing council is committed to improving the street environment within the borough for everyone who resides, works and visits our borough.

Your business waste collection is NOT included in your business rates. If you, or your employees, dump rubbish on the street you are a fly-tipper and face a fine of up to £50,000. We can help you to ensure that your business stores and disposes of waste in a legal and environmentally sensitive way.

Duty of Care

As a business you have a legal responsibility to contain and dispose of your waste correctly under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. This includes all waste produced from your business and office personnel waste such as paper, lunch packaging or small amounts of food waste.

It is your responsibility to ensure your waste removal contractor is licenced and disposing of your waste in a legal and environmentally sensitive way. If illegal dumping is traced back to your business, you can be fined up to £50,000.

Tips

  • We estimate that a small, office based business 80m2 will use approximately 3 sacks a week.
  • If you have the storage space for bins, you'll find them easy to move and securely lock; a good way of reducing vermin, nasty smells and leaks and a safe way to store sharp objects and broken glass.
  • If you are not sure which option is best for you please contact 0208 825 6000. A member of the commercial waste team will then contact you to discuss your requirements.
