The cost of commercial waste collection is not covered by business rates so we make a charge for collection and disposal. You have the option of using the service we provide or you can make your own arrangements with a private licensed waste management contractor.
You cannot use the domestic refuse and recycling services for disposal of trade waste and access to the Recycling Parks for the disposal of trade waste is not permitted.

We collect around 4,000 tonnes of food waste every year from Denbighshire’s households and businesses. This food waste is processed locally to produce renewable electricity and a nutritious liquid fertiliser that is used to enrich local agricultural land. As well as being the most environmentally beneficial way of recycling food waste, the Welsh Government is making it compulsory for businesses to have their food waste collected separately.
We can help you recycle your food waste with a convenient weekly service using caddies like those you use at home or 120 litre wheelie bins, that can still be moved easily when full.
