Sustainable waste management in Aberdeen

Scotland’s third-largest city and one of the gateways to the Highlands, Aberdeen has traditionally been an industrial powerhouse in shipbuilding, quarrying, fishing and textiles. In the 21st Century, the oil industry, the historic University of Aberdeen, healthcare and other businesses have transformed the economy. 

Home to two major universities, an international port, and a thriving business scene, the city presents a variety of unique waste management challenges. The bustling retail and hospitality sector, particularly in areas like Union Street, the West End, and the Beach Boulevard, all demand reliable waste management services. Meanwhile, the city’s industrial sector, with major sites in Dyce, Bridge of Don, and Altens, needs the type of expert waste management for specialist materials that only Biffa can provide.

From food waste in restaurants to packaging in retail, office waste, and hazardous industrial materials, our extensive network ensures efficient waste disposal and maximum recycling to help businesses achieve their sustainability goals.

We work with organisations across multiple sectors, including local government, SMEs, independent retailers, hospitality businesses, and large-scale industries, helping them implement sustainable waste management strategies.

Our team will ensure you comply with all relevant regulations, including Enhanced Producer Responsibility (EPR), DRS, WEEE, and Hazardous Waste guidelines. If you need expert advice on your responsibilities, don’t hesitate to contact us.
