Reliable General Waste Management for London Businesses
Greener World London provides dependable collection services for everyday non-recyclable waste, helping businesses maintain clean, compliant, and well-managed sites. All general waste is transferred to approved facilities where it’s converted into energy — ensuring nothing goes to landfill and every collection supports a more sustainable London.
What General Waste Includes
Our general waste collection covers non-recyclable materials that can’t be placed into your recycling bins. We collect:
Non-recyclable packaging – items contaminated with food or grease, plastic film, and wrappers
General communal waste – mixed site or workplace rubbish that can’t be easily sorted for recycling, such as small plastics or composite materials
Miscellaneous refuse – small items or mixed materials that can’t be separated for recycling
All collected general waste is taken to an Energy from Waste facility, where it’s safely converted into electricity and heat. This process ensures no waste is sent to landfill while still providing an environmentally responsible solution for unavoidable waste.
Collection Options
We provide 240-litre, 660-litre, and 1100-litre Euro bins for general waste, which are emptied on site. Clear bags can also be supplied where space is limited. Collections are scheduled to fit around your business operations, ensuring minimal disruption.
Optimising Waste Flow
Organising general waste by volume and location ensures bins are collected quickly and efficiently. By keeping high-use areas accessible and avoiding overfilling, your team can maintain a clean, safe environment and minimise interruptions to daily operations.
Responsible Disposal
All general waste is taken to licensed Energy from Waste facilities, where it is converted into electricity and heat. This approach eliminates landfill, recovers energy from unavoidable waste, and contributes to a sustainable waste strategy for your business.
* Waste Must Be Bagged
All general waste must be securely bagged before being placed in bins. This helps maintain hygiene standards and ensures collections can be handled safely and efficiently.
Greener World London makes managing general waste straightforward for London businesses. We provide 240-litre and 1100-litre Euro bins, or clear bags for sites with limited space, and tailor collections around your operational needs.

We’re here to make your business' commercial waste management as straightforward as possible. Find answers to some of our most common questions.
Still have questions?
How quickly can you start collecting our waste?
Once we’ve discussed your requirements and agreed a service plan, we can usually deliver bins and begin collections within just a few days. Our team handles all the setup, explains the process to your staff and makes sure everything is in place so you can start benefiting from reliable waste management almost immediately.
Are your vehicles more environmentally friendly than large waste trucks?
Yes. We use smaller, low-emission vans instead of heavy HGV waste trucks. They produce significantly less noise and pollution, and are able to access loading bays and tight spaces without causing disturbance. This means collections are quieter, cleaner, and more discreet — especially important for hotels, restaurants, and businesses in residential or busy central areas.
Do you guarantee zero landfill?
Yes. All waste we collect is taken to licensed recycling or recovery facilities to achieve zero landfill. We work with trusted partners to ensure your waste is processed responsibly, and we provide clear reporting so you can demonstrate your environmental performance to customers, regulators or corporate stakeholders.
Can collections be scheduled outside business hours?
Absolutely. We specialise in stealth night-time collections using smaller, quieter vehicles designed to reach tight loading bays without disturbing your operations or neighbours. This means you can separate waste from fresh deliveries, free up space, and avoid congestion or noise complaints during busy trading hours.
What areas do you cover?
We collect business waste across London and the surrounding areas including the City of London, London West End, Mayfair, Westminster, Kensington, Chelsea, Wembley, Middlesex, Slough, Windsor, and the M4 Corridor up to Maidenhead. If you’re unsure whether your location is covered, just get in touch and our team will confirm availability or arrange a bespoke solution for you.
What is your service guarantee?
We guarantee that if you’re not satisfied with our service during the first month, we’ll remove your bins and you won’t be charged. Beyond that, we commit to reliable, on-time collections, flexible scheduling to suit your business, and responsive support whenever you need it—ensuring your waste management runs smoothly without disruption.
