Commercial waste sacks

You may decide, or be required, to use waste sacks to store and dispose of your businesses waste rather than wheeled bins.

White commercial waste sacks

White commercial waste sacks are given to businesses in areas like the city centre where they are unable to have bins. 

This service can be used if:

  • you are only producing small quantities of waste, up to 4 bags per week, and do not need a bin.
  • you have no room to store bins on site.

If  there is  no room on site for a bin, contracts will be given and charged for the equivalent bin capacity, 

For example an 1100 litre bin is equivalent to the capacity of 15 sacks (70 litre each). The customer would be charged as if they have an 1100 litre bin and be given the equivalent 15 sacks per week. The invoice will show as an 1100 litre bin emptied once per week. This is a cheaper way of charging than the cost per sack.

Businesses are not allowed to put out black sacks, they must use white commercial sacks which are only available from the commercial waste office on a contract. The minimum contract is 1 sack per week.

White bags are usually sent out every 6 months in March for the April- September invoice period and September for the October to March invoice period.
Each roll contains 10 sacks and you will be charged by invoice in advance. If you use up these sacks before the end of the period you must contact the office to increase your contract. 

If you come to the end of the period March or September and find that you have surplus sacks, these sacks can be used and will be continued to collected beyond the invoice period. No further invoices will be generated and we will not deliver sacks until you have used those you have. Please let us know before delivery if you do not need sacks and to reduce your contract.
