Sustainable waste management in Southampton

Southampton is a vibrant port city with a thriving business community, a bustling retail sector, and a rich maritime heritage. From the historic Below Bar to the modern commercial developments in Westquay and Above Bar, and the independent bars and restaurants of Bedford Place, Southampton businesses require efficient and affordable waste solutions to keep the city clean and sustainable.

Whether we’re collecting food waste from restaurants along Oxford Street, managing packaging waste from retail stores, or handling industrial waste from Southampton Science Park, our services are designed to support businesses of all sizes.

Southampton is home to major science, education, technology and business organisations like the University of Southampton, Cunard, Ordnance Survey, BBC South, P&O, and more. In addition, the Port of Southampton is the largest cruise port and second-largest commercial port in the UK, generating large amounts of waste to be processed and recycled.
