Hertfordshire County Council has opened its first business waste service.
Located at Ware Recycling Centre, the service is designed for small and medium-sized companies.
Waste including wood, hardcore, green garden and plasterboard, can be disposed of at competitive prices. Some items, such as cardboard and scrap metal, can be disposed of for free. All bookings are subject to a £4.99 weighbridge charge.
Sawbridgeworth’s Cllr Eric Buckmaster, the executive member for environment, said: “We are delighted that our first business waste service is now open, offering local businesses the opportunity to dispose of waste in a compliant and affordable way.
“This is a key infrastructure development, one which supports businesses with how they recycle their waste, providing them with a service that actively meets their needs.
“Our new Welwyn Garden City Recycling Centre, which is due to open in spring 2023, will provide an equivalent facility, ensuring more businesses across the county will have access to this vital service.”
Bookings can be made online and payment can be made by debit or credit card, as well as Google Pay and Apple Pay. The service is open Monday to Friday, 10am to 5.30pm, and can also be used by residents who have too much construction, demolition and excavation waste.
