Learn more about Waste Disposal in Croydon

Here at Wayst, our customers, our employees, and the environment are our priority, which is why we provide a reliable range of waste clearance services for both homes and businesses and are passionate and dedicated to reusing & recycling a range of waste materials.

As part of our mission to make waste disposal more sustainable, we offer several services to the individuals and businesses to help clear their households or workplaces of any waste.

Some of which are:

- Removing and recycling hazardous waste (paint, sharps, batteries etc.)
- Recycling (paper, glass, cardboard, food waste etc.)
- Removal and destruction of confidential waste (paper, media, hard drives, data)

All you need to do is request a waste removal with us and we will arrange a time and date that works for you to start the process. We will come in a van to collect the waste from your location and transport it to a location where the sorting and segregating of waste can begin. This helps us to differentiate what items can be recovered, what items need to be recycled and what has no option but to go to landfill.

Croydon Council has several waste disposal services available for residents. Some of these services include rubbish and recycling collection, bulky waste collection, garden waste collection and clinical waste services.

You can find out when these collections take place in your area and discover the rest of the council's waste disposal services on their website. For residents of Croydon, there are three recycling centres available for you to take your waste to. You can find these on Factory Lane, Fishers Farm, and Purely Oaks.

- Internal manuals
- Hard drives/SD cards

At Wayst we offer paper shredding, media shredding, hard drive destruction and data destruction services. We follow leading industry standards and include all required documentation including data destruction certificates and inventory reports as part of our service, so you can be assured that your confidential waste is safe and secure with us.

Clinical waste disposal

Clinical waste is commonly defined as waste that has the potential to cause infection or disease, so it is likely contaminated by some form of bodily fluid like blood. This kind of waste is mostly found at medical facilities, but some items like needles and blades can also be found in your home.

Improper disposal of clinical waste can put communities at risk of injury. Accidental exposure to sharps can lead to serious consequences, such as causing critical illnesses to humans and animals, which is why we aim to dispose of as much medical waste as possible in a safe manner.

Croydon Council also offer services to dispose of your sharps box, though this is usually arranged by healthcare workers.

What you need to know about Croydon

Croydon

The Principle town of Croydon within the Greater London Borough of Croydon is the next largest commercial district outside of central London and has excellent rail links to the capital, and towards coastal towns in the south east of England. It is also home to London’s only tram network which reportedly transports over 29 million people every year. Croydon town also has plenty to offer outside of its shopping centres, pubs bars and restaurants. The Airport Visitor Centre is one of Croydon’s most unique well known attractions, situated in the world’s oldest air traffic control tower and only open one weekend a month, so plan ahead! The Museum of Croydon is another must see, with its own art gallery and richly detailed local history exhibits. There is also the Turf gallery space, which offers workshops run by local artists, and plenty of outdoor attractions and parks. Coombe Wood, which is set in well kept grounds and has picturesque views and an on site cafe. Wandel Park, which features a river, a playground and a skate park is also very popular with visitors and locals. Croydon is currently the fifth cheapest borough in London for property prices and an ideal location to invest, mainly due to the regeneration plans and the predicted increase in house prices This investment opportunity has driven up construction work in the area, which in turn has caused an increase in the production of construction waste; mainly refurbishment related waste such as flooring and carpets. The most popular property types in Croydon are 3 bedroom properties and flats, and over 65% of properties are now rented when compared to the 2001 census, which inevitably causes a range of residential waste types as bulky household waste is created during the moving process.

  • Population Size 778,382
  • Active Businesses 1,837
  • Waste Collected (tonnes)326,411
  • Tonnes of Waste Recycled or Reused 161,573

How is the local authority in Croydon handling your waste?

Residents can find advice on how to reduce and reuse waste on the council website, and Croydon council provide a very useful and informative video, explaining exactly how waste is handled and recovered at waste treatment facilities from within the borough and on a national scale. All the waste that is collected in the borough goes on a reprocessing journey. Food waste goes to an anaerobic digestion facility, where gas and bio fertilizer are produced. The biogas is used as fuel and for generating electricity, and the fertilizer is pasteurised to remove pathogens before being applied to the soil. Paper and card get sent to paper mills throughout the UK, where the materials are washed and liquified before being reprocessed into recycled paper products. Glass tins and plastic go into the mixed recycling bin and taken to a materials recovery facility where they are sorted and sold on to reprocessors, and there is a facility in Dagenham where some of the plastic gets processed into pellets which can be used to manufacture any number of plastic based products and materials.

Croydon Council's Waste Management Performance:

· Overall annual spend on waste management £19,369,000,00
· Per person spend £25
· Landfill rate 49.50%
· Reuse and recycling rate 50.50%

What are the plans for a greener future in Croydon?

Croydon is part of the South London Waste Partnership made up of the four boroughs of Croydon Merton Sutton and Kingston. Together they implement cost effective waste management strategies, and provide news and information on how the South London Waste Partnership is working towards sustainable environmentally friendly solutions. Croydon council ensures that even non recyclable waste can be kept out of landfill by sending materials such as Polystyrene, bubble wrap, and some food containers to an energy recovery facility in Beddington less than four miles from the town centre. The waste materials are burnt at temperatures that can exceed 850 degrees celsius, producing large amounts of steam used to generate electricity and ash, which can be used in road building. Viridor, who manage large scale waste treatment projects, have taken over what was once the landfill site at Beddington and transformed it into natural wetlands and grasslands in collaboration with the South London Waste Partnership. Croydon’s own environmental policy, The Green Commitment which was established over 20 years ago, sets out five key aims to improve the environment including a commitment to sustainability and protecting and improving natural surroundings within the borough.
