General waste

A weight off your site

WASTELOGIC SERVICE

General waste, weighed every lift.

The stream we work hardest to shrink — reliable collection in the bin sizes your site needs, managed, scheduled or on-call, while your monthly report shows what could be diverted out of it.

How it’s weighed: recorded bin-lift weight per collection — the general figure in your report is a measured weight, not a volume estimate.

A service that flexes with your volume.

From 120 L wheelie bins to 3 m³ front-loaders, on the schedule your volumes justify.

What goes in — and what stays out.

If it can be diverted, it has its own stream. That’s how the general bin shrinks.

General-waste questions, answered.

Which bin size do I need?

From 120 L to a 3 m³ front-loader — we recommend based on your volume and access, and adjust as your report shows.

Can I change collection frequency?

Yes — managed (sensor-triggered), scheduled or on-call, adjusted seasonally or after an overflow.

What's excluded from general waste?

Clean recyclables, cardboard, e-waste and batteries, plus hazardous, liquid and medical waste — these have their own streams or need separate handling.

Can broken glass go in general waste?

Broken crockery and glassware, yes. We don't collect glass as a separate recycling stream, so keep it out of the recycling bin.

What if the bin is contaminated?

It's flagged in your monthly report with a practical fix. Repeat contamination is discussed with you before anything is charged.

What happens if my volume drops?

We can down-size the bin or reduce frequency — the report shows when.
