The Best Waste Management Companies UK

WasteManaged offers fixed billing, and a quick and easy set up. You can create an account over phone or by email within minutes. Once your account is set up, your bin will be delivered within 5-7 days. Divert offer a similar service, although you don't need to set up an account, and instead can book on-demand waste collection. Diverts pricing is transparent so you know the cost up front, with WM, you'll need to request a custom quote. This makes it harder to know which providers fit into your budget.

WM offer fair, fixed billing and charge your business the same amount every month. When you join WM, it will calculate your waste collection costs for the year ahead, then split this cost into 12 monthly payments.

WasteManaged has a high rating of 4.1/5 on Trustpilot, with customers finding WM's customer service friendly, and helpful. Some customers have had issues with bins not being delivered or waste not being collected on time. Whilst this is a small percentage compared to the positive reviews, it's something to keep in mind. Especially if your business is located in a place where failure to collect waste in a timely manner will cause significant issues.

Despite being founded in early 2021, Divert has paved the way for waste management, earning itself a nice 4.9/5 on Trustpilot. Divert provides on-demand waste removal services, with clear and transparent pricing. You can book office rubbish collection from £74.99, directly on its website. You can also request that other items be collected such as a mattress of fridge, the price of which is clearly outlined. This way you can easily book one-off waste collections as and when you need it.

Divert work in a variety of sectors and collect office, retail, restaurant, industrial, and automotive waste, although it does not collect construction waste. As a client you can request free commercial-sized bins, and arrange for these to be picked up on a schedule that suits your business.

With an almost perfect score on Trustpilot, Divert stands out as being a provider with great prices and customer service. Users have noted that the provider is easy to deal with and have made the process of waste management a lot easier and straightforward. It's also fairly flexible, as you can upgrade your order on the day, and they'll arrange to collect when they can. Not all providers offer this level of flexibility, and some will refuse to collect the waste if there's more than was initially booked or expected.

Diverts pricing is fairly affordable with waste management services starting from £59.99.

Enviro Waste provides eco-friendly waste disposal across London. This is fairly limiting, so if you're looking for a service outside of the capital, you could opt for Divert who operate on a carbon neutral basis. Of course, this isn't quite on the same level as Enviro Waste who aim to recycle 92% of the waste it collects, and plants a tree for every clearance it carries out. AMA Waste claim to recycle 98% of customers' waste, and they serve the entire country, so might be a better option if you're not based in London.

It claims a next-day guarantee, so if you call before 12pm, they promise to provide a next-day service. This is great if you have last-minute services that need to be carried out. The services offered include, waste planning, waste recycling, electronic waste, hazardous waste, skip hire, and sustainability consultation.

Enviro Waste offers a tailored process to suit your business, which works especially if you have irregular needs. However, if you're a small business and simply want to organise regular waste collection, you might be better off with a provider such as Divert, which offer clear and transparent prices and services.

For a more bespoke experience, Enviro Waste can arrange for a 'waste expert' to visit your site and assess any risks and figure out your needs.

Enviro Waste has a 4/5 rating on Trustpilot, however this is only out of 3 reviews, so it's not a great measure of its customer service. All of the reviews do mention that the customer service is reliable, professional, and efficient.

You can get a more accurate price by contacting Enviro Waste directly, however they do offer a price guide. 1 cubic yard/70kg, which is equivalent to 8 sacks is £107+VAT. This is a little bit more expensive than Divert, who charge £74.99 for a similar volume of waste removal. The price is not hugely different however, and if you're based in London and looking for an affordable, eco-friendly waste collection service, Enviro Waste is a great fit.

AMA waste have over 1,000 depots in the UK, and serve every part of the country. It offers a wide range of services including, tailored waste management, hazardous waste, confidential disposal, skip hire, and site clearance.

It promises a dedicated account manager, so you can have a point of contact should you have a query or an issue pops up. Compared to Divert, where you can book in a collection online, AMA offers a more bespoke service. Although, depending on your needs this could be more of a hassle as you'll need to contact your account manager and arrange for collection. If, you're short on time or don't want to deal with extra communication, Divert offers a quicker and more convenient service.

Pricing is bespoke with AMA, so you'll need to contact them directly for an accurate quote. This makes it harder to accurately compare between providers and figure out if AMA is within your budget.

AMA provides skip hire, which isn't offered by many waste collection services, such as Divert. Whilst it's not always relevant to all businesses, if you want this option as part of your waste collection provider, AMA is a good choice.

AMA Waste has a score of 4.3/5 on Trustpilot, and whilst there are lots of reviews and ratings on the service, some customers have faced issues such as, failure to collect a skip on time. Whilst these reviews only make up around 7% of the overall great rating out of 818 reviews, its something to think about. Especially if issues such as not collecting a hired skip on the agreed date would case issues for you.

Business Waste provides waste collection services throughout the UK. Just like Divert, Business Waste also offers free bins. It promises the lowest prices in the UK, however its pricing is custom, so its difficult to say that this is definitely the case.
