Commercial waste management is constantly changing and it’s vital to get your company’s waste management right in order to remain compliant. All businesses have a legal responsibility under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and other related legislation to safely contain and legally dispose of any waste produced from your business. Not doing so could end up costing additional time and money that could be better spent elsewhere, or legal action against your organisation.
That’s where TJ comes in. Why not let us manage your commercial waste for you? Together we’ll come up with a plan, tailored to the needs of your business, and take all the hassle (and the waste!) away.
We can provide you with total site waste management, partial site waste management, a Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP) or even waste management for an event. Total site waste management is ideal for high volume waste producers at multiple locations seeking to use a single supplier to manage their waste collection, disposal and reporting.
If you employ TJ to manage the disposal of your organisation’s waste, they can manage a range of waste streams, encompassing all of your waste or just some elements of it.
GENERAL WASTE
The size of your organisation and the amount of waste that is generated will determine what TJ supplies you with for your general waste. TJ has skips of all sizes, from 2 yard up to 35 yard. We can help you assess the size you need and when the skip is full, get in touch and we’ll take it away, replacing it with an empty one. This can be done on a scheduled or ad hoc basis, to suit your company’s needs.
RECYCLING
TJ can also take away your recyclables, so it’s a good idea to separate them on site for ease. Recyclable materials include paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, cans and tins, aerosols, textiles and glass.
CONFIDENTIAL WASTE
All businesses generate documents that are confidential and need disposing of in the correct way. Our collection service gives you the ability to securely dispose of documentation, with a guaranteed certificate of destruction – it’s safe, secure and fast and helps you to fulfil your data responsibilities. We’ll provide you with 50-litre secure bags for you to fill with unwanted sensitive or confidential waste documents, then simply call us for collection and it’ll all be taken care of.
WEEE
WEEE encourages the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of waste electrical and electronic equipment. TJ offers this service and can ensure that your WEEE goes to the right place.
A Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP) outlines how resources will be managed and waste controlled throughout a construction project. It will cover:
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs recommends that all construction projects have a SWMP and that it should be used as a flexible resource efficiency tool. As well as saving you time and ensuring your waste disposal is being legally done, having a SWMP may help you win business because you can use it to prove your environmental performance, which will in turn enhance your reputation.
We will work with you to come up with an SWMP that will work for your business as well as being manageable. We’ll provide you with templates to complete your plan and act as consultants to assist you and advise on best practice.
You’ll also have access to the reporting tool, which you will be able to access to gain an insight into the breakdown of all waste activity including how much of your waste was able to be recycled etc.
All waste is taken back to TJ’s Materials Recovery Facilities. We have four of these dotted along the south coast, two in Portsmouth, one in Southampton and one in Yapton.
All the waste is sorted into categories to ensure that as much as possible is recycled or reused. TJ’s extensive knowledge of recycling centres in and outside of Hampshire helps make high levels of recycling possible.
