Proven Facilities and Properties Waste Management Services

Properties and Facilities Waste

Properties and facilities waste management requires careful planning and management. How well a commercial operates – and how safe it is – depends heavily on the quality of the waste management system in place. That’s where we come in. We work closely with property facilities managers in London and beyond to ensure they comply with their legal and moral obligations relating to waste and rubbish collection.

We have a series of facilities waste bins, sacks, and more complex waste collection solutions to suit any type of commercial building. Many of the buildings we serve are home to dozens of individual tenants, which means we have to take a fresh approach to every new properties waste arrangement.

Providing facilities waste management solutions can be a complex process. We don’t just have to consider the buildings we serve, but also the owner-occupied and leased offices within them. This means we have to create solutions that work for dozens of separate waste producers under the same roof.

The combination of our state-of-the-art facilities, our cutting-edge waste collection vehicles and our advanced green technologies allows us to provide environmentally friendly facilities waste collection and recycling services for large commercial developments across London.

In certain situations, tenants might be tasked with arranging their own waste disposal, though this often varies based on the type of property and the nature of the waste. For residential properties, local councils or authorities may take on this responsibility. However, for commercial and mixed-use properties, it is generally the duty of the property or facilities manager to ensure that effective waste management practices are in place.

Proper waste management is not only a legal obligation but also crucial for maintaining the functionality and satisfaction of tenants and users. Implementing a comprehensive waste management strategy helps mitigate potential problems and ensures compliance with regulations. It’s vital for managers to oversee that all properties they control have the necessary waste storage solutions and collection services set up efficiently.

Our facilities waste management clients include:

Waste management for commercial properties includes scheduled collections, recycling programmes and waste audits to ensure regulatory compliance and operational efficiency.

Waste management in residential buildings typically involves collection from dedicated rubbish storage areas, recycling programs and bulk waste disposal to ensure cleanliness and convenience for residents.

For office blocks, waste management services involve regular pick-ups of general and recyclable waste, with customised solutions to handle electronic waste and confidential documents.

For holiday lets, waste management services focus on frequent waste collection and recycling to accommodate high turnover and maintain a pleasant environment for guests.

Industrial waste management requires specialised services for the safe disposal of hazardous materials, large volumes of waste and adherence to stringent environmental regulations.

We have worked with facilities managers in London for long enough to know the wide range of rubbish created by commercial buildings of multiple occupancy. Each business or tenant has its own unique requirements, and the building as a whole must have a waste management solution that maintains a safe and sanitary environment for everyone. This is no mean feat!

Good facilities waste management starts with tenants and owner-occupiers. People have to implement a robust, easy-to-follow property waste management process that includes putting the right items in the right bins. If your building is going to recycle its fair share of waste, this is absolutely vital. We’ll be there to advise, however. We’ll tell you where we think certain bins, sacks and skips need to go in order to maintain a safe, clear and hygienic environment for everyone sharing the facilities.

While we can create a bespoke solution for your facilities operation, we typically offer bins and waste collection options for the following types of property waste:

We can oversee the disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) through certified e-waste recycling facilities, ensuring hazardous materials are safely managed and valuable components are recovered.

We manage the collection and recycling of glass bottles, jars and other receptacles which are sorted by colour and recycled into new glass products.

We ensure general waste is collected and disposed of properly, typically through incineration, to minimise environmental impact. Using landfill will always be a last resort at Urbin.

Our bins, vehicles, and state-of-the-art waste management systems are used for sorting and recycling dry mixed materials like paper, plastics and metals, which helps reduce landfill use and promotes resource recovery.

We can manage sanitary waste with specialised disposal services to handle items such as hygiene products and medical waste safely and in compliance with health regulations.

Our facilities waste management services facilitate the recycling of cardboard by segregating it from other waste, which can then be processed into new paper products and reduces waste in landfills.

We organise the collection and processing of food waste through composting or anaerobic digestion – turning it into valuable compost or energy and reducing the amount of organic waste in landfills.

Serving the waste management needs of multiple tenants and owner-occupiers in the same building is always a significant logistical challenge. That’s one of the reasons why we provide wheelie bins, sacks and various other rubbish receptacles as part of our fully customisable facilities waste management services.

Whether you need bins for offices, public areas or outdoor refuse areas, we can help.

You can order properties and facilities waste and recycling sacks online via your Urbin account. When your sacks are full, give us a call, and we’ll send a specialist team to pick them up and dispose of them responsibly.

Choose the size of the facilities and properties waste bins you require online, and we’ll deliver them to your preferred location at a time of your choosing. When you’re ready for us to pick up your waste, we’ll send a specialist team to do everything for you – leaving you free to focus on the needs of your tenants.

We will work with you to design and execute a waste collection plan that works for your property. This may mean assessing the needs of your building on a floor-by-floor basis. It might also mean liaising with tenants and owner-occupiers to ensure everyone’s rubbish collection requirements are met.

But we understand how busy facilities managers are these days. We’re here to ensure at least one of your primary responsibilities is taken care of professionally and reliably. While we’ll assess your operational needs if you need our experience and insights, you can also order the bins, sacks and other waste bins you need through a simple, streamlined process.

We want your life to be as easy as possible, so you can focus all your attention on your tenants and the welfare of the commercial building you’re managing. That’s why we’ve developed a simple yet effective process that begins by placing an order for your bins or sacks.

Tell us about the exact type and mix of facilities waste you’re generating. We also need to know whether you need bins, sacks or a combination of both. Next, choose the appropriate sizes to ensure you have the necessary storage capacity until we arrive to perform the collection.

We’ll give you a quick quote, and you can go ahead immediately.

We try to keep our facilities waste management services as flexible as possible. Once you’ve selected the type, size and number of waste collection solutions you require, just tell us where and when you’d like your bins or sacks. We’ll make recommendations if we think there are better places in your building for waste storage.

We can drop off our waste bins for facilities managers in most places, but we’ll ask you about the logistics involved to ensure we’re able to complete deliveries and collections according to the schedule we agreed. Issues we’ll need to discuss in advance include code-accessed gates, restricted areas, opening times, and restricted personnel rules. Once we have everything we need, all you need to do is wait for your commercial building bins or sacks to arrive.

We understand that commercial rubbish from shared office blocks and developments accumulates quickly yet erratically. So keep filling your bins or sacks as you go about your daily duties.

We recommend taking time to think about exactly where you’re going to site your facilities rubbish bins. Think about the operational needs of your office, as well as any logistical issues that might cause problems. In addition, create a commercial building rubbish system to ensure the right rubbish goes in the right bins – and train your team on it.

Remember to stick within any agreed weight limits, and don’t fill the receptacles with unapproved or inappropriate rubbish, clinical waste, or recyclables.

When you’re ready for us to collect your commercial waste, give us a call or request a collection online.

When we arrange waste collection for commercial properties, we don’t just drop off and collect the bins we supply – we serve as your dedicated partner for all things waste-related.

We have picked up quite a few best practices from facilities managers over the years – and we’ve developed quite a few of our own. If you’re a facilities manager struggling to cope with the level of waste being generated on your property, here are a few quick tips.

Begin by conducting a thorough waste audit to identify the types and quantities of waste generated. This helps in understanding waste streams and areas where improvements can be made.

Develop a waste hierarchy to prioritise waste management practices. This framework should emphasise reducing waste first, followed by reusing, recycling and disposal. What do you re-use? What do you recycle? What gets collected by Urbin? Make sure everyone in the building is aware of their roles and responsibilities when it comes to following the process for identifying and separating different types of waste and rubbish.

Ensure that all building users and tenants are aware of and adhere to waste management policies and regulations. Regular checks and clear communication can prevent non-compliance.

Design a comprehensive rubbish management plan that outlines procedures for handling, storing and disposing of waste. This plan should be tailored to the specific needs and waste types of the facility.

Establish a regular waste collection schedule to ensure timely removal of waste. This helps in maintaining cleanliness and preventing overflow or unsightly accumulation.

Continuously review and assess the effectiveness of your waste management systems. Implement improvements based on feedback and changing waste patterns to enhance overall efficiency.
