Biffa commercial waste

Biffa’s general waste collection handles non-recyclable waste like food-soiled packaging, plastic wrappers, and contaminated paper, ensuring compliant disposal at licensed facilities.

Biffa provides commercial dry mixed recycling (DMR) collections allowing businesses to easily dispose of recyclable materials like paper, cardboard, plastics, and aluminium cans all in one bin. 

Biffa provides dedicated collections for commercial cardboard recycling. The collected cardboard and paper are sorted, cleaned, and recycled into new products such as packaging and paper goods.
