General waste FAQs

General waste includes everyday items that cannot be recycled or composted. This typically covers materials such as food-contaminated packaging, plastic bags, polystyrene, disposable coffee cups, and other non-recyclable waste generated by households or businesses.

You should avoid placing recyclable materials (like cardboard, glass, or plastic bottles), organic waste (food or garden waste), or hazardous materials (such as batteries, paint, or chemicals) in your general waste bin.

General waste is transported to licensed waste facilities for sorting and disposal. Wherever possible, we divert waste from landfill through advanced processing methods, supporting our commitment to environmentally responsible waste management.

Waste Detect provides professional collection and disposal services backed by our innovative bin weighing and data management system. Customers can log in to our online platform to monitor collection times, weights, and waste data in real time.
