Waste in the retail sector is a problem that retail business owners have been facing for years. Recently, the issue has become more and more important, especially in relation to the protection of the environment and the preservation of natural resources. The good news is that there are a number of ways to reduce waste generation in retail stores, as well as many ways to recycle so you can operate in a sustainable way.

Whether you are a convenience store or a large outlet in a shopping arcade we will provide you with an effective and economical advice looking at all areas of your business including when is best to schedule your collection services for the amount of waste you produce. In order to cater to all business types and sizes, we offer daily, weekly or fortnightly collections, performing an audit to find out which is the best approach for your business.

We will consider all options regarding retail waste collection from on-site segregation to the use of single-stream waste bins – whatever suits your business best to reduce costs. We will investigate how you can recycle as many materials as possible to minimise waste and maximise efficiency by sending less waste to landfill.

Types of retail waste

Retailers produce various types of waste that could be harmful to both the environment and to their immediate surroundings. Responsible retailers need to know the sources of the waste produced by their stores and warehouses, and how it should be disposed of. Some of the waste retailers produce includes:

Site waste management plan

It is recommended that all retail businesses implement a site waste management plan (SWMP), also known as a retail waste management strategy, so they can monitor the waste produced by their business, and how this can be managed effectively. It will contain information such as what waste can be recycled, what can be disposed of, what can be reused, and how best the business can implement these processes. 

The plan must be regularly updated to ensure it accurately reflects the waste needs and obligations of your business, and we will look at making your processes digital. In our retail waste management strategy, we will look at all of the different types of waste involved in this sector including:

Working together, we will identify your high volume waste streams, allowing us to create a tailored strategy to maximise value when managing waste. We will look at how you can accumulate healthy rebates for the waste that is produced in significant volumes, because waste disposal costs are increasing each year, and we are here to help you save money.

Recycling your retail waste

We will work closely with you to make sure that you separate as much of your recyclable materials as possible to increase recycling levels before it is transported to the correct waste treatment centre or to landfill. Unfortunately, waste that cannot be recycled is inevitable, but we will always deal with it in a compliant way that reduces impact on the environment.
