Office waste types

Offices generate a wide variety of waste, from everyday paper and packaging to food waste and confidential documents.

Understanding the different types of office waste and how they should be managed is key to maintaining an efficient and environmentally responsible workplace. Below are the main waste types found in offices and how they should be handled:

General waste

General waste includes all non-recyclable office waste, such as contaminated paper, polystyrene, and food-contaminated packaging.

This waste is collected by your office waste provider and transported to a local incinerator or landfill site for disposal.

Dry mixed recycling

Commercial dry mixed recycling collection services allow offices to dispose of recyclable plastic bottles, paper, and cans in a dedicated bin.

Waste providers sort dry mixed recycling at a waste transfer facility before transporting each material to the appropriate recycling centre.

Food waste

Office food waste comes from employee lunches, expired breakroom snacks, and food waste from on-site catering services.

Commercial food waste collection services ensure that organic waste is diverted from landfills and processed into compost or energy through anaerobic digestion.

Confidential waste

Offices handle sensitive information, including financial records, employee data, and client documents.

Confidential waste collections securely manage and shred waste to prevent data breaches and maintain compliance with data protection regulations.

Cardboard waste

Offices generate large amounts of commercial cardboard waste from deliveries, packaging, and document storage boxes.

Dedicated commercial cardboard recycling collections ensure that this material is processed separately and kept out of landfills.

Sanitary waste

Sanitary waste regulations require offices to provide sanitary waste disposal bins in washrooms.

Sanitary waste collection services ensure proper disposal, maintaining hygiene standards and compliance with workplace regulations.

Office waste management FAQs

Our experts answer your questions surrounding office waste management.

Are there any restrictions on the disposal of hazardous waste in the office?

Yes, there are strict restrictions on hazardous waste disposal in office settings governed by environmental regulations and health and safety laws.

Hazardous waste includes batteries, electronics (e-waste), fluorescent bulbs, and certain cleaning chemicals, which cannot be disposed of alongside general commercial waste due to their potential harm to the environment and human health.

Is there a process for reporting missed collections or requesting repairs for damaged bins?

To address missed collections or request repairs for damaged bins in your office, promptly contact your waste management provider with specific details of the issue.

For missed collections, include the scheduled collection date and bin accessibility; for damaged bins, describe the damage and, if possible, provide photographs.

After reporting, obtain a confirmation or reference number and inquire about the resolution timeline. Should the issue remain unresolved within this period, follow up with your provider, keeping a record of all communications for future reference.

Are there any local regulations or permits required for specific waste disposal or recycling activities?

County councils implement local regulations on the storage and disposal of commercial waste.

How often should you schedule office bin collections?

Determine the number of bins within your office and measure how frequently they reach full capacity each day and their sizes.

Next, work out how often your office’s large bin, usually placed outside in the parking or facilities area, becomes full. This assessment will help you establish the optimal schedule for waste collections specific to your office’s needs.
