Residual Waste Collection

Streamlining Waste Management with Fortress Recycling

Residual waste, often referred to as general waste, is an inevitable byproduct of all businesses. While recycling efforts have significantly reduced the amount of waste sent to landfill, certain items still cannot be recycled or reused and must be disposed of as residual waste. Fortress Recycling is dedicated to providing sustainable solutions for managing residual waste, ensuring it is treated in the cleanest and greenest manner possible.

Our Commitment to Zero Waste to Landfill

At Fortress Recycling, we prioritise environmental sustainability in all aspects of our operations. Our goal is to achieve zero waste to landfill by diverting all residual waste away from traditional disposal methods. Instead, we process residual waste at Waste to Energy plants, where it is converted into energy through combustion processes. This innovative approach not only minimises the environmental impact of waste disposal but also contributes to the generation of renewable energy.

How Residual Waste Collection Works

Our Residual Waste Collection process is designed to be simple and efficient for businesses of all sizes. Here's how it works:

Request a Quote: Start by contacting us for a free quote based on your location, waste volume, and collection frequency preferences. Our team will assess your needs and provide a tailored solution that meets your requirements.
Bin Delivery: Once you've accepted our quote, we'll deliver Residual Waste Collection bins to your business premises free of charge. Our bins come in various sizes to accommodate different waste volumes, ensuring we meet your specific needs.
Fill the Bins: Fill the bins with bags of residual waste, ensuring they are within the weight limits specified for each bin. Our bins are equipped with secure, lockable lids to prevent contamination and unauthorised access.
Scheduled Collection: On the agreed-upon collection day, place the filled bins at the designated collection point. Our fleet of trucks, equipped with advanced weighing systems and safety features, will collect the bins and transport them to the nearest waste management facility.
Waste Processing: At the waste management facility, residual waste is processed using advanced refuse-derived fuel (RDF) production. This process converts residual waste into energy, reducing its environmental impact and minimising reliance on landfill disposal.

FAQs About Residual Waste Collection

What is residual waste, and how is it different from recyclable waste?

Residual waste, also known as general waste, refers to non-recyclable items that cannot be reused or recycled. Unlike recyclable waste, which can be sorted and processed into new materials, residual waste requires specialised disposal in the form of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF), which recovers energy for electricity generation.
What types of businesses benefit from commercial residual waste collection services?

Commercial residual waste collection services are essential for a wide range of businesses, including restaurants, retail stores, offices, manufacturing facilities, and healthcare institutions. Any business that generates non-recyclable waste on a regular basis can benefit from professional waste management services to ensure compliant and environmentally responsible disposal.
How often will my residual waste bins be collected?

The frequency of residual waste collection depends on factors such as the volume of waste generated, the size of bins provided, and your specific requirements. We offer flexible collection schedules, including daily, weekly or fortnightly collections, to accommodate your business needs and minimise waste buildup.
What happens to the residual waste after collection?

After collection, residual waste is transported to our Materials Recovery Facility for processing to produce refuse-derived fuel (RDF). These processes aim to minimise the environmental impact of waste disposal and maximise resource recovery.
How can businesses ensure compliance with waste regulations when disposing of residual waste?

To ensure compliance with waste regulations, businesses should partner with licensed waste management providers like Fortress Recycling. Our team is trained to handle and dispose of residual waste safely and in accordance with local laws and environmental standards. Additionally, we provide transparent reporting and documentation to demonstrate regulatory compliance and promote responsible waste management practices.
