How to Find a Recycling and Household Waste Service

Removal of waste is a big issue these days. Most of it is dumped into the sea where it pollutes the environment and causes the death of millions of marine life. This is why we should consider recycling our business and household waste.

Hundreds of waste removal companies can be found throughout the UK. Their costs and quality of service vary greatly so it can be a bit difficult to find the best waste management company for your budget and needs.

This article will hopefully help you decide the best recycling and household waste service out there.

The Big Five

Five companies dominate the UK waste management industry. They collectively generate £5 billion pounds in revenue every year. This is about twice as much as the annual revenue of the next 15 biggest companies combined. The five giants, in order of biggest yearly revenue, are Veolia Waste Management, Biffa Group, Suez Environment UK, Viridor, and FCC Environment.

The big five and others are very good at their jobs, to grow this much you have to be, but as a company increases in size it becomes harder to provide consistent customer care to each and every client. More employees mean increased chances of errors and mismanagement. This eventually causes customers to suffer greatly.

So to avoid being on the phone, regarding a missed collection, for an hour or so, we recommend looking into smaller companies for your household and small business requirements.

AMA Waste Management

It has a score of 8.2 out of 10 on Trustpilot and is known for its prowess in recycling waste.

AMA wants to recycle at least 80% of its rubbish and will help in reducing the environmental implications of your household and business waste.

Not only does AMA aims to recycle most its waste, in 2017 it went into a partnership with ORCA, a marine conservation charity, to help raise awareness regarding the consequences of waste disposal on dolphins, whales, and porpoises.

Simply Waste Solutions

It has a score of 7.5 out of 10 on Trustpilot and is known for its reliability.

Simply Waste Solutions had very humble beginnings. It was founded in 2006 with only a small number of staff and a used truck. But now it operates on a national level and handles more than 100,000 tonnes of trash every year.

The main reason for their success is consistent service. They rarely miss a collection and will gather your bin no matter the circumstances.

Conclusion

We all have to share this blue planet of ours and hence need to act responsibly towards it. Irresponsibly trashing the Earth will only bring harm to us and our future generations.
