Learn more about Waste Disposal in Sutton

Sutton Council offers waste disposal services that include recycling, rubbish collection, food waste collection and textile collection. The council also encourages its residents to reuse or re-purpose any items that are not too damaged. Many local charities will accept these items for resale, such as furniture or clothes.

To dispose of your waste in your own time, you can visit the Household Reuse and Recycling Centre (HRRC). You will have to make an appointment via their website beforehand and you can also find the opening times on the council’s webpage. If you have any hazardous waste to dispose of, this can not be taken to the HRRC, so you will have to look elsewhere for disposal services.

At Wayst, our goal is to make the waste clearance process more customer friendly and sustainable. We follow the ‘waste hierarchy’ set out by the Environmental Protection Agency, which calls for the recycling and reuse of items before they are disposed of in other ways, and we hope that we can promote these proper waste disposal processes through our work. We believe we need to offer reliable waste clearance services for homes and businesses to help both our customers and the environment.

Waste disposal in Sutton

Specialist waste can include anything that cannot be disposed of through normal council run waste disposal processes such as confidential waste, clinical, hazardous and electrical waste.

We provide all the necessary recycling services at Wayst that help you appropriately dispose of a range of waste types including your electronics, furniture, DIY waste, paper, plastic, cardboard and glass. As well as this, we also provide services to recycle your hazardous waste products, some of which you may not have even known were hazardous. Over an estimated 480,000 pieces of electronic equipment are disposed of annually in Sutton. We want to reduce the amount of these items going into landfill, as many of these products can be reused or recovered if disposed of properly. When the product can not be reused as a complete item, materials from the item can be separated and used for other purposes (recycling). For instance, laptops can be recycled in order to make new items like jewellery or even another electrical item.

Confidential waste disposal

Confidential waste is easily identified as something that holds personal, company, employee and/or client data. For example:

- Bank statements
- Tax Documents
- Contracts
- USB/Hard drives
- Tapes

Sutton Council does not offer any specific services that will deal with your confidential waste appropriately, so you will have to look for private waste management companies if you want your confidential waste to be disposed of securely.

At Wayst, we only work with companies that are licensed and trained to securely dispose of your confidential waste. We ensure that all the guidelines and requirements for secure document/data destruction are followed, including providing you with inventory reports and data destruction certificates as part of the documents accompanying the clearance. If sensitive data is not properly disposed of, it could breach GDPR regulations that may lead to legal action being taken against you, so there is a data protection risk. This is why we offer professional paper shredding, media shredding and hard drive destruction services, so all our clients can be reassured that the collection, transportation and disposal of confidential waste is carried out safely and securely.

Clinical waste disposal

It is vital that you handle and dispose of all clinical waste properly and avoid throwing these items into your general waste bins, as this can have extremely damaging effects on humans and the environment. Clinical waste is usually found in places like GP practices and the hospital, but items like razor blades, syringes, bandages and needles can be found in households as well. If these items are disposed of improperly and are contaminated with blood, they can spread serious illnesses and diseases, if somebody is accidently exposed to it. Sutton Council are able to provide a yellow sharps bin for clinical waste collections if requested.

At Wayst, we ensure that all clinical waste is disposed of in a safe way to avoid any injuries and contamination to the soil and water supply by working with specialist waste companies that handle these waste types specifically.

How is the local authority in Sutton handling your waste?

The council provides a detailed A-Z guide on their website for rubbish and recycling collection, and which bins to use for each of the materials listed. Any residual waste materials that are not suitable for recycling such as bubble wrap, nappy waste and plastic film are taken to the energy recovery facility (ERF) in Beddington where they are processed into fuel by incineration, and fed into the national grid tpo produce electricity. Leftover ash from the energy recovery process can also be used as an aggregate material in road building.

For trade waste disposal the council requests that potential clients contact them to work directly with their waste management partner Veolia to create a quote based on their specific requirements. The local council also plans to subsidise recycling collections for new businesses and where possible manage commercial food waste so that it is taken to the appropriate facility where it can be recovered through composting or anaerobic digestion to render it into fertilizer, gas or fuel. The energy recovery facility in Beddington benefits residents in Sutton by providing an alternative to landfill that not only protects the local environment but has the potential to significantly reduce the cost of heating and electricity in the future through the Sutton Decentralised Energy Network. The community benefit fund for local projects throughout Sutton and the other boroughs that are part of the south London waste partnership will also benefit residents directly by providing investment for community based projects that can apply for grants of up to £30,000 from the fund.

What are the plans for a greener future in Sutton?

As a borough known for its award winning parks and densely wooded areas, Sutton’s future as one of London's greenest boroughs will depend on maintaining the 607 hectares of green space that it currently occupies. In addition to introducing greenery to built up areas, a large part planning for a greener future involves the conservation of natural parks and grassland and the preservation of historical buildings and architecture, as an alternative to new builds which inevitably cause environmental upheaval and pollution. Sutton has 4 historical conservation areas at the High Street Crossroads, Landseer Road, Sutton Gardens, and Grove Avenue, which are all examples of building and engineering from the 19th and 20th century that have been identified as either being historically significant to the development of the town or protected by greenbelt. The garden city movement which started in postwar Britain or ‘greenbelting’ as it is now known is the practice of balancing agricultural or natural conservation areas in between towns and cities to avoid over urbanisation. As farming has dwindled in recent years the pressure to develop in open countryside has increased and it is often up to already settled communities to challenge developments and protect the natural surroundings before planning permission is granted to private contractors.
