General Waste Collections Businesses In Cornwall

Weekly or fortnightly General Waste Collections for all Cornish Businesses. If you have recycling, food or clinical waste, we will collect that on the same day to save any confusion and leave your collection area neat and tidy.

General waste includes materials such as non-recyclable plastics, polythene, some packaging and scraps.  In the past, this waste has invariably been disposed of in landfill sites.

When we collect your general waste bags, recyclable waste is sorted and re-used to make new products and anything else is sent to a green energy plant where it’s processed and used to generate green energy.

We try our best to work with these new advances in technology, where several new ways of dealing with general waste have been found, ensuring that value – usually in the form of energy – is recovered from it. 

None of the waste collected by HHWC goes to landfill.
