Separating streams is not bureaucracy. Mixed waste goes to landfill; sorted waste can be recovered. The tariff is built so the cheaper choice is also the better one.
What most homes put out each week — mixed general waste, kitchen scraps and garden clippings.
Mixed non-hazardous waste from homes — food scraps, packaging, sweepings.
Kitchen and market waste destined for composting rather than landfill.
Grass cuttings, prunings, leaves and felled branches.
Separated at source and routed to recyclers rather than landfill. Priced lower, because sorted material is cheaper to handle and worth more at the other end.
Bottles, containers and packaging film routed to recyclers.
Office paper, newsprint, cartons and packaging board.
Bottles and jars. Handled separately because of breakage risk.
Ferrous and non-ferrous scrap, tins, roofing offcuts.
Streams that need particular care in transit or a specific recovery process.
Phones, computers, batteries, appliances. Contains recoverable and toxic fractions.
Furniture, appliances, rubble and site clearance. Priced for vehicle loads rather than sacks.
Rubble, offcuts and site clearance. Priced for tipper-truck volumes.
Furniture, mattresses and large appliances that will not fit a normal bin.
Only collectors holding a valid NEMA licence can be dispatched to these. The platform enforces that — it is not a matter of trust.
Sharps, dressings and laboratory waste from clinics and pharmacies.
Waste oil, solvents, paints and workshop chemicals.
Pick the closest match when you book and describe what you have. The collector records the real weight and stream on arrival, and the price is adjusted openly if it differs materially from the estimate.
