Put simply commercial waste is waste generated by a business and its activities. The UK government defines commercial waste or ‘business waste’ as “Any waste that comes from a commercial activity.” They say that “If you use part of your home to run your business, then any waste from that part is business waste.”
Trade waste is an interchangeable industry term for ‘commercial waste’ or ‘business waste’.
Disposing of commercial waste isn’t as straightforward as leaving bins out for council collection. It requires a tailored approach that considers the type, volume, and frequency of waste your business
produces.
At Midas Waste, we help businesses implement customised commercial waste disposal solutions that not only ensure compliance but also reduce costs and improve sustainability.

Every commercial waste service begins with a free comprehensive waste audit.
Many companies haven’t updated their systems to match their expansion – that’s where we come in.
We take the time to visit your site, assess your current waste management practices, and determine whether they still meet the needs of your growing business. At Midas Waste, we use our decades of industry experience to recommend what you truly need for greater efficiency, compliance, and cost savings.
Following our audit, Midas Waste designs and implements a commercial waste management system tailored to your business. We recognise that each industry has its own unique requirements, for example, hospitality businesses typically generate higher volumes of food and glass waste, while industrial sites may require solutions for bulkier materials or more frequent general waste collections. By understanding these sector-specific needs, we create bespoke solutions that make commercial waste segregation simple, effective, and fully compliant with legislation, helping you reduce costs and operate more sustainably.
Midas Waste continues to monitor the effectiveness of the commercial waste collection services through ongoing maintenance and reporting. Our vehicles are equipped with weigh loaders, allowing us to capture accurate data on your waste volumes. This information is made available to you via a dedicated client portal, where you can track weights, review trends, and access essential records for compliance.
We also ensure internal recycling stations align seamlessly with external bin setups, and we’re always on hand to recommend adjustments that keep your system running efficiently and cost-effectively.
The cost of commercial waste collection varies depending on several factors, including the type of waste, the frequency of collections, and the size and type of containers used.
With the increasing landfill tax, general waste is the most expensive to collect. Put simply, the more general waste you generate – and the heavier it is – the more you’ll pay. Effective segregation of waste streams such as food, glass, and recyclables can significantly reduce businesses costs.
Midas Waste vehicles are equipped with ENVIROWEIGH bin weighing systems from Vehicle Weighing Solutions, which provide accurate, real-time data on waste weights and associated costs. This data is seamlessly pushed into our PurGo system, allowing Midas to carefully track waste from clients and ensure full transparency. All information is accessible through our user-friendly client portal.
By monitoring your waste output, Midas Waste work with clients to make informed decisions to optimise both efficiency and spend.
