In this section, we will summarise the key commercial waste collection services available in Sutton:

Sutton’s appeal as a business hub is evident in its attraction of large consultancies and firms, including the accounting firm Mazars and the construction company Ballykelly, which have established their offices in Sutton Plaza.

Large offices in Sutton require comprehensive waste management solutions, including regular collections for general waste, dry mixed recycling, and food waste. The trusted commercial waste providers highlighted earlier are equipped to offer these essential services.

Waste management at Sutton’s parks

The Borough of Sutton stands out as one of London’s greenest areas, boasting 89 separate parks and green spaces. Among these are:

Beddington Park – Originally a deer park for the noble Carew family in the 14th century, Beddington Park spans 58 acres and is celebrated for its picturesque landscapes.
Nonsuch Park – Once part of Henry VIII’s hunting grounds, Nonsuch Park encircles the site of the former Nonsuch Palace.
Grove Park – Located in Carshalton, this park has a rich history dating back to the 14th century as part of The Grove estate.

Since the pandemic, the influx of visitors to Sutton’s parks has increased, placing greater demand on waste management services.

Sutton Borough Council oversees litter disposal in most of the borough’s parks and has faced rising costs in litter management.

According to a recent Parks for London survey, the cost of waste collection and disposal for London’s parks is estimated to exceed £15 million annually.

Promoting recycling in Sutton’s parks remains a significant challenge. Litter from public waste bins typically ends up either at a waste-to-energy facility or in landfill sites. Signs around the parks encourage visitors to take their litter home to utilise residential recycling services.

Sutton’s parks regularly host events necessitating specialised waste management services from private companies. For instance, Nonsuch Park is the venue for the annual Summerfest festival, which presents unique waste management challenges.
