There is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to waste management, and this is especially true in complex environments like care homes where various different waste types are generated. As well as keeping the environment clean, to ensure you are able to fulfil your duty of care, you need assurance that waste carrying risks of harm or cross-contamination is dealt with in a safe and timely fashion.
Our care home waste disposal services begin with an audit, where we will review the types and quantity of waste you generate to ensure that our proposed plan accommodates it all. We will then provide all the bins you need for free and arrange a collection schedule that fits your needs. All you need to do is put waste in the right type of bin on site, and we’ll do the rest.
As industry experts, we are also able to advise on employee engagement and education, ensuring that your team are aware of what’s expected of them to keep things moving smoothly.
