Learn more about Rubbish Removal in Watford

Watford is a busy urban district with most local rubbish removal companies in the area based around Watford town centre which has several nearby facilities for the recycling and disposing of waste. Apart from companies in the immediate vicinity there are many other waste management companies that serve the area, although they are based outside of Watford. In Watford alone close to 80,000 fridge freezer units over 300,000 pieces of furniture are discarded annually, and with a population of less than 400,000, it is clear that more needs to be done in terms of ensuring that items can be reused and recycled back into the economy.

Waste carriers are there to do their best when it comes to ensuring that less waste ends up at incineration facilities or landfills, and a good rubbish removal company knows that they are responsible for every stage of the waste process after collection, however how the waste is treated up to that point is the responsibility of the individual.

Compliance measures with an emphasis on environmental sustainability are becoming more commonplace for both the local authority run rubbish removal services and private waste carriers. As such, environmentally ethical rubbish removal with a focus on recycling items and materials is becoming essential for companies who want to survive in today’s waste management industry.

At Wayst, we place our commitment to more environmentally friendly rubbish removal at the core of all our operations. From choosing private waste removal teams who share our values to informing and educating our partners and clients on how to practice sustainable waste management, we put people and sustainability at the centre of everything we do. Wayst endeavours to save our customers time and money while saving the earth’s valuable resources as we move towards offering continuously greener services and providing excellent value to our clients at the same time.

Household rubbish removal in Watford

Apart from general waste and recycling that is collected for free by the local authority in Watford, other rubbish removal services are paid for. Garden waste and bulky waste items like furniture can be collected by the council at competitive prices, while some hazardous and clinical waste can be collected free of charge. However tax paying residents must often wait for up to 8 weeks for local authority waste collections, and with hazardous collections only one waste type can be dealt with per service. In the case of private waste carriers offering rubbish removal services, it is far more convenient as multiple waste types can be collected in one load and can be done almost immediately. When it comes to household clearance, DIY, and garden clearance and general junk removal, booking the services of an independent waste company can save time, and may even work out to be more cost effective depending on how much rubbish you have to clear.

What are the plans for a greener future in Watford?

Watford is part of the ‘waste aware’ partnership of county, district and borough councils in Hertfordshire, which is a municipal waste strategy aimed at reducing, reusing, recycling and recovering as much waste as possible from the area. Climate change has made technological innovation and the preservation of natural resources a priority for local authorities to consider when planning, strategizing and implementing practices for the collection, transfer and treatment of waste. There are plenty of open green spaces in and around Watford, however they can be hard to access without the appropriate roads and footpaths linking them to the surrounding towns and villages, and this is also on the agenda for the Hertfordshire waste aware partnership, as they recognise that more needs to be invested into making green spaces easily accessible, and improving overall access to the countryside.

Watford has also invested in cycle lane infrastructure to support greener methods of transport in the town centre, making over 15 kilometers of new cycle routes accessible through the provision of cycle maps and bike parks situated in the centre of Watford and the surrounding areas. The Watford Cycle Hub is a local organisation that supports children and adults to learn how to cycle and basic bike maintenance. They also hold 1 to 1 classes to build the confidence, safety and the proficiency of cyclists in the area to encourage people to choose their bikes over cars when travelling locally.
