Our Service

We offer both general waste and brown organics collections as part of our commercial waste service.

You can choose a weekly, fortnightly or monthly service depending on your needs and there is also a choice of bin size.

Please note all organic waste (food and garden waste) must now be separated from your trade waste receptacle and placed in a brown bin. By keeping organic waste out of your existing bin, Council can achieve low waste treatment costs and reduce waste to landfill.

The items that can be recycled in the brown bins:

Food waste
Fruit
Flowers
Meat - raw/cooked
Teabags/coffee
Leaves/plants

How Can I Save My Business Money?

By removing the 'organic' waste you may need less lifts of your general waste container which will ultimately result in cost savings for your business. All commercial bins will be supplied free of charge (unless the business wishes to supply their own).
Why Get Onboard With Our Scheme?
- There may be significant opportunity for your business to save money through the new scheme
- The service will help you tie into your Corporate Social Responsibilities or environmental accreditations
- Every business, big or small, has a legal Duty of Care to dispose of waste through a licensed waste carrier
- Taking part in the scheme helps recover valuable materials for reprocessing, saving on valuable natural resources
- Your participation will help in reaching Northern Ireland's ambitious landfill diversion targets over the coming years
- We offer a convenient, reliable and flexible service from a team of friendly and professional staff

What Happens to My Waste Once It Has Been Collected?
- Food waste is collected separately and sent to a company called NWP, where the materials are composted and sold on as their final, Rosie Lee compost product.
- All remaining materials, including recyclable and non recyclable material will be collected together and taken to a local materials recycling facility where they will be separated into individual waste streams, bailed and sold on for final reprocessing.
