When carrying out a construction project, you’re more than likely going to produce a lot of waste - and it’s important that you plan and prepare for waste disposal in advance. To ensure that your construction waste is disposed of efficiently and in an environmentally friendly way, it’s important that you find a reliable waste disposal company to deal with your waste. Read on for our top tips.


Read customer reviews

To get a feel for the company in question, it’s important that you take the time to search the company and read some customer reviews. This will give you an idea of how satisfied previous customers have been with their services and whether they experienced any issues. If you notice a lot of negative reviews, it’s best to use a different company to avoid any problems.


Check licenses and credentials

It is essential that you check that your waste disposal company of choice has a Waste Carriers License and is registered on the Environment Agency’s Public Register. Remember, it’s illegal to use an unlicensed waste carrier, so it is absolutely essential that you check the company’s licenses and credentials beforehand. All reputable waste carriers will be able to provide you with their Waste Carriers License and any other relevant ISO certifications.


Focus on service and support

It’s important that you choose a waste disposal company that offers top customer service levels and support. Throughout your construction project, you may require assistance or advice on how waste levels can be reduced or need information on safe handling waste. A reliable and reputable company will be able to assist you with the support that you need and offer you advice and guidance.


Choose a company that offers affordable yet reliable services

Price is an important factor to consider when choosing any service. However, it’s important to remember that the cheapest service does not necessarily always equal the best service. If you come across a company that offers exceptionally cheap services, it may be best to avoid them - after all, they could be cutting corners or offer an unreliable service. Make sure you find the right balance between price and service.
