Twickenham collects a little over 400,000 tonnes of waste annually, of which more than 204,000 tonnes goes directly to landfills amounting to a 50% recycling rate for the area. While these figures represent a more balanced ratio of recycled and landfilled waste, it is still far from the sustainable waste management solution that the local authority hopes to achieve. There are many rubbish removal companies in Twickenham who’s waste is not included in the councils figures that also provide rubbish removal services with the aim of reusing and recycling as much of the collected waste as possible. Due to the growth in population the need for reliable and environmentally friendly rubbish removal services has become essential, for example Twickenham discards over 1,000,000 items of furniture every year coupled with nearly 200,000 fridge and/or freezer units.

At Wayst, we partner with contractors who share our values of environmentally responsible and sustainable rubbish removal practices. We emphasise and qualify them according to their systems and levels of transparency around quality and environmental factors, helping us consistently provide excellent customer service and remain compliant with the regulations governing waste management.

Because we work with expert contractors we can offer a full range of waste management solutions, and tailor them to the needs of the client to find the best value for their rubbish removal needs. Our competitive pricing and first class customer service has helped us build a reputation as market leaders in waste management, and we aim to continue raising industry standards for people and the environment.

Household rubbish removal in Twickenham

There are many domestic waste types to be aware of, especially of the items that fall into the category of hazardous waste and require specialist contractors to transfer and dispose of this waste correctly. Paint, household and garden chemicals, fluorescent tubes and medicines are all common household items that are classed as hazardous. When residents book a rubbish removal service that includes hazardous waste, be sure the contractor has the means to dispose of it properly as hazardous waste should not be treated in the same way as general waste. If you only have one type of waste to dispose of such as garden waste then it is much easier, as the waste will not need to be sorted after collection, and can be more easily disposed of by the waste company at the transfer station.

Commercial rubbish removal in Twickenham

Twickenham is home to almost 125,000 businesses that generate around 400,000 tonnes of waste annually, in addition to over 80,000 tonnes of hazardous waste and discards over 1,000,000 items of electronic waste. To properly dispose of the various waste types, there should be specialist rubbish removal companies in Twickenham for different waste types, as these waste types have different legislation and processes attached to them such as the collection and disposal of either hazardous or confidential waste, both of which carry a higher risk than general mixed waste. Companies that have experience in removing these waste types will undoubtedly provide a better service as they will have the right handling equipment and teams to handle the waste accordingly, for electronic equipment it is more about the security of the items in transit as well as the software used to wipe hard drives of confidential data, and/or shredding processes. They will also have quality management systems in the form of ISO or equivalent certifications, so clients can be certain that all waste disposal has been carried out according to specific management standards whilst the waste has been processed correctly.

Construction rubbish removal in Twickenham

On average in Twickenham there are 528 active construction sites at any one time, this is significant and causes the area to generate approximately 1,600,000 million tonnes of construction waste every year. This activity results in a growing demand for on-site rubbish removal services. Skip hire is the most frequently used service for a range of sized construction sites for a range of different sized projects and is one the most suitable and cost-effective option if there is space available to park a container on site. Grab hire is also often used when it is necessary to remove muck, soil and sand generated by excavation work, and is commonly referred to as ‘muck away’ specifically for the purpose of clearing a mixture of hardcore, rubble and subsoil.
Building surveyors may also require fly tip clearance services before construction begins as rubbish is often illegally dumped on private land, much of which has been earmarked for future building and is sometimes under the ownership of the new landlord, who becomes responsible for having fly tipped waste cleared.

How to choose a rubbish removal company

When searching for a suitable rubbish removal company, all potential clients must take responsibility choosing a legitimate service provider. A rubbish clearance company that provides good value to their customers ensures that they have all of the necessary tools to carry out their services safely, efficiently and in accordance with the associated legislation. Beware of companies offering rubbish removal services at below market value as compliance from waste carriers makes up a large portion of the cost and it is highly likely that companies who offer unusually low-priced services are not operating legitimately. For extra precaution you can check if a specific company can operate by visiting the Environment Agency website and looking them up by name and/or company reference number.

How is the local authority in Twickenham handling your waste?

Cardboard and paper collected products from blue bins are transported to the councils depot in Craneford Way, and then to Newport paper mills where they are reprocessed into recycled paper products. Richmond Upon Thames council works with a private contractor to transport other dry recycling collected from black boxes in bulk loads to a sorting plant in Mansfield. At this stage any residual waste contaminants that might be present are removed and sent to an energy recovery facility. Another sorting plant in Leeds separates different types of plastics into PET bottles, pots, tubs and trays. Bulk loads of plastic, glass aluminium and steel are then marketed and sold on to companies who will transform the materials into end products, or sell them onto other companies where they are not able to remanufacture them. All the end markets for recyclables are within the EU with the exception of some steel which is sold and recycled internationally.

Food waste material which is collected from Green boxes in Twickenham is delivered to the West London Waste Authority (WLWA) in Hounslow who delivers the material to the anaerobic waste facility in Mitcham, where it is treated to produce gas which is fed into the national grid, and biofertilizer for crops and farmland. Similarly, general rubbish is used to generate electricity, and garden waste is used to enrich the soil by being composted.

Twickenham Council's Waste Management Performance:

· Overall annual spend on waste management £54,383,813
· Per person spend £56
· Landfill rate 50.14%
· Reuse and recycling rate 49.86%

What are the plans for a greener future in Twickenham?

The West London Waste Authority provides plenty of helpful tips and information on their website for residents in Twickenham and Richmond Upon Thames on reducing waste and taking part in community reuse and recycle schemes on the WLWA website. One such initiative that individuals and families can do at home is to start to change their everyday habits around accumulating waste in the first place. This can be achieved by small incremental actions that add up to have a big impact on the amount of waste that individual households produce and will significantly reduce the overall amount of waste that needs to be collected. There are several ways in which residents can start to reduce the amount of rubbish generated on a daily basis by bringing less waste into the home through making better buying choices, repairing items and planning meals in advance to reduce food waste, which can cause harm to the environment if it ends up in landfill. Residents can also access community reuse and recycling schemes via the local authority website such as Richmond Freegle, the Richmond furniture recycling scheme,and the TRAID clothing collections scheme.
