Sustainable waste management in Edinburgh
Scotland’s iconic capital, with historic buildings, narrow streets and a famous castle is one of the biggest cities in the country. Edinburgh is the financial and political centre of Scotland, the most competitive large city in the United Kingdom according to the Centre for International Competitiveness, and is home to the highest percentage of professionals (43%) of any city in the UK.
With a large public sector, a private sector based around professional services, science and technology, construction, manufacturing, and of course a huge tourism industry, Edinburgh businesses have unique waste management needs. Whether it’s the offices of major companies based in The Exchange or Edinburgh Park, the retail and hospitality venues in the city centre or St James Quarter, or the world-renowned Edinburgh University, we provide tailored waste collection and recycling services for all organisations and industries.
We harness the power of our regional and national infrastructure to maximise recycling and efficiently manage your waste. Our local experts based in Edinburgh will support you to meet all relevant current and future legislation such as Enhanced Producer Responsibility (EPR), DRS, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and Hazardous Waste.
