Commercial business waste disposal at the HWRC (Tip)
Please ensure you read and understand all the information on this page before you visit the site to access our commercial business waste disposal service.
The Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) in Linford now accepts mixed commercial business waste for a charge.
This service is a “pay as you weigh" commercial business waste disposal service. Users only pay for the exact weight of waste disposed of, making it a fair and transparent system, allowing businesses to dispose of their waste when required without the need of a having a contract in place.
This means that small businesses who do not produce enough waste to require a regular commercial business waste collection, can bring their commercial business waste to the HWRC.
If you feel your business produces enough waste to require a kerbside collection, please see our business waste and recycling services: Commercial business waste | Business waste and recycling | Thurrock Council page.
