Learn more about Waste Disposal in Uxbridge

Hillingdon borough council handles most of the waste disposal in Uxbridge, and many residents choose to dispose of their rubbish in council-run facilities or through the usual weekly rubbish collections. A handful of independent waste management companies also operate in the area and provide rubbish clearance and collection as well as specialised services like electronic waste disposal.

Harefield Civic Amenities Site is the closest recycling centre to Uxbridge and offers free to use facilities for residents of Uxbridge. Residents from outside the borough of Hillingdon and commercial users can still use the site but must pay fees. £10 per use for non-residents, while commercial users are subject to trade prices starting at around £16.50. Anyone that is disposing of business waste at the civic amenity site must also present a valid waste carriers license from the Environment Agency.

Of the 236,000 tonnes of waste collected in Uxbridge by the local council over the last year, around 50% of it was recycled or reused. This is higher than the national average, but due to the number of parks, rivers and green spaces in the Uxbridge area, there is no doubt that residents and officials would both like to see that number rising.

An excellent way to ensure that your waste is recycled as its preferred method of disposal is to use an independent waste disposal company. Here at Wayst, we are driven in our mission to reduce the amount of landfilled waste. To help us reach our goals, we only work with highly responsible waste disposal professionals that have a recycling rate of over 90% for a range of waste streams that they process.

Waste disposal in Uxbridge

The specialist waste recycling facilities in Uxbridge and the surrounding area help to reduce hazardous, confidential, clinical, and industrial waste, and are open to both businesses and the public. The civic amenity site at Harefield provides disposal for general household waste like mattresses, carpets, plastics, and furniture. This site also accepts small amounts of construction or DIY waste to be disposed of by residents, allowing three bags of this type of waste per visit and accepts bricks, hardcore, timber and stone.

Additionally, there is a scrap metal yard in the Uxbridge area and a bulk composting facility licensed by the Environment Agency. Due to limits on commercial waste disposal at the Harefield recycling centre, waste management companies in the Uxbridge area mostly offer commercial waste disposal and its range of associated commercial waste services. To ensure appropriate waste disposal, there are recycling spots around Uxbridge for household batteries, and most of these bins are in busy areas of the town and allow residents to dispose of their batteries easily, with small electrical drop off points also provided at several public locations.

Here at Wayst, we offer recycling options for most specialised waste streams, and we use reputable waste disposal companies offering recycling services to dispose of all types of hazardous waste in accordance to strict protocols.

Confidential waste disposal

Businesses in Uxbridge should look at any potentially confidential material that they have on their premises and identify it as such so that it can be stored securely and eventually disposed of correctly, as confidential waste finding its way into the wrong hands can lead to security breaches or even legal action.

Confidential waste is usually kept as a paper record or on a computer hard drive and can be anything from a CV to a customer’s bank details. There is more electronic confidential waste collected by businesses on computers and hard drives from their offices/warehouses everyday.

Wayst offers secure shredding services for confidential documents, which our trusted partners then recycle, and our providers have undergone security screenings to ensure transportation and disposal services are reliable and safe. We will also provide you with the relevant paper trail to give you peace of mind when it comes to confidential waste disposal.

There are many independent waste disposal businesses in the Uxbridge area that offer hard-drive wipe and destruction services to clear your confidential information, we will only offer companies that use cutting edge equipment including software to wipe data for example.

As a last point any business that wants to dispose of waste at the Harefield recycling site must be a licensed waste carrier, so it may not be possible to simply take your confidential waste there, so using a waste carrier on your behalf is sometimes your only option.

Hazardous waste disposal in Uxbridge

Waste is hazardous if it is dangerous or harmful to humans, animals or the environment and can be difficult to dispose of due to needing specialised processing. The civic amenity site at Harefield does take certain hazardous items, and the borough council can also arrange a pickup for hazardous material, like asbestos. Residents can also take garden chemicals, car batteries, cooking, and motor oil to the site at Harefield. If you wish to dispose of asbestos, the Hillingdon council website has an outline of how to safely remove and prepare asbestos for transportation. You can then contact the council and organise a collection of up to six, 10kg bags.

If you wish to use a private company to transport your hazardous waste, you must first check to see if they are listed with the Environment Agency as a licensed waste carrier and be thorough about where the waste will end up. Some hazardous waste cannot be recycled or reused; however, at Wayst we aim to recycle, reuse, and recover something from as much of the waste collected through our specialist waste partner network as possible. For example, we often send cooking oil to specialist processing centres for it to be converted into biofuel.

Clinical waste disposal

It is imperative that all clinical waste is handled with care and disposed of correctly to avoid any kind of environmental contamination as clinical waste can cause illness and spread disease. Healthcare services produce most of the clinical waste in Uxbridge. Care homes, dentists and veterinary services all produce clinical waste of some sort.

On top of what we offer via the Wayst platform, Hillingdon council offers a waste collection service for clinical waste upon request and will provide you with the relevant bags for the waste, which can include swabs, dressings, and other sanitary items. If you need to have sharps collected, such as needles and syringes, you must first get a sharps box from your GP. Once you have the box, the council will operate a monthly collection.
