Sustainable Solutions for Every Waste Stream

Rapid Hire provides comprehensive waste management services covering collection, transport, recycling and disposal. We support household waste, commercial waste and specialist waste streams with dependable nationwide coverage.

Our goal is simple: reduce landfill, increase recycling and provide a clear duty-of-care audit trail so you can demonstrate compliant waste handling across single sites or multi-site organisations.

Waste Management for Business and Commercial Sites

We supply the right containers and collection schedules for offices, retail, hospitality, warehouses, manufacturing and construction-related operations. Options include general waste, dry mixed recycling, segregated recycling, and tailored uplift plans for variable volumes.

Where applicable, we help you align your waste set-up with workplace recycling requirements, ensuring key recyclable streams are separated and collected appropriately.

Recycling and Resource Recovery

Improving recycling is often the quickest way to reduce costs and carbon impact. We offer dry mixed recycling and segregated collections for common materials such as paper/card, plastics, metals and glass, supported by appropriate treatment and recovery routes.

For food-producing businesses, we can arrange food waste collections and advise on practical segregation to reduce contamination and improve recycling performance.

Specialist and Regulated Waste Streams

Some waste types require specialist handling and documentation. We support a range of controlled and specialist streams including confidential waste, WEEE, paints and other regulated materials, with suitable containers, scheduled collections and compliant routing.

Managed Waste Services and Single-Supplier Support

If you want one point of contact for all waste streams, our managed waste service can combine containers, collections and reporting across your sites. We can start with a practical waste review and recommend improvements that reduce contamination and increase diversion from landfill.

    1. Duty of Care, Documentation and Workplace Recycling

      Waste producers have legal responsibilities to store waste safely, use authorised carriers and keep an appropriate audit trail. правиль segregation reduces risk, improves recycling outcomes and supports compliance.

      Workplace recycling requirements vary across the UK. In England, workplaces must separate dry recyclables, food waste and residual waste (with a later compliance date for micro-firms). We can advise on practical segregation and collection set-ups based on your location and waste profile.

    2. Your Core Responsibilities

      1. Store waste safely and securely to prevent escape, spilling or contamination.

      2. Separate waste streams where required to support recycling and reduce contamination.

      3. Use authorised waste carriers and appropriate permitted facilities.

      4. Maintain transfer documentation for non-hazardous wastes and consignment documentation for hazardous wastes where applicable.

      5. Ensure staff understand what goes in each bin to maintain clean recycling streams.

    3. What We Need to Set Up Your Service

      1. Site postcode(s) and access notes (bin presentation points, loading restrictions).

      2. Waste types produced (general, recycling streams, food waste, confidential, WEEE, etc.).

      3. Estimated volumes and preferred collection frequency.

      4. Any compliance requirements (audits, site policies, contractor controls).

      5. Whether you need multi-site coordination and consolidated reporting.

    4. Not sure what bins or collections you need? Contact our team for a practical waste review and tailored quote.
