Business or commercial waste

Garden waste for non-residential properties

Most non-residential properties need to subscribe via our commercial service, including:

• camp or caravan sites (single caravans lived in all year round can use our normal service)
• charities
• general commercial properties or places of business
• educational establishments
• hall or other premises used wholly or mainly for public meetings (e.g. village or community hall)
• hospital
• premises occupied by a club or society or any association of persons (e.g. cricket, bowling, tennis or rugby clubs)
• prison or other penal institution
• residential hostel
• residential or nursing home

Commercial or residential

These types of properties can have a standard garden waste subscription if they need 4 or fewer garden waste bins, and don't produce extra garden waste as part of their business. Otherwise, they need a commercial subscription:

• Dual-use property with a business run out of a residential property (e.g. hairdressers or childminder)
• Place of worship 

Residential hostel

If the people in residential hostels pay council tax, the hostel can pay for up to 4 garden waste bins using our standard garden waste subscription. If the hostel wants more than 4 bins, then they need to request a commercial quote.

All residential hostels that pay business rates need to use our commercial service.
