Business Waste Management in Edinburgh and the Lothians
Every business in Scotland has a legal duty of care to ensure their waste is disposed of responsibly. For Edinburgh-based companies — from construction firms on Leith's waterfront to retail shops on Princes Street — choosing the right commercial waste partner is critical for compliance, cost control, and corporate reputation.
Your legal obligations as a business
Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and Scottish regulations, businesses must:
- Store waste securely and safely on your premises
- Use a registered waste carrier — check their SEPA licence
- Keep waste transfer notes for a minimum of two years
- Ensure waste is disposed of at a licensed facility
Enviroworx is fully SEPA licensed, and we provide waste transfer notes for every commercial collection as standard.
Commercial skip sizes for business waste
- 8-yard builders skip: Ideal for shop refits, office clearances, and small construction projects.
- 10–14 yard maxi skips: For larger commercial renovations, warehouse clearances, and bulky light waste.
- 20-yard RoRo container: The standard choice for active construction sites and demolition projects.
- 40-yard RoRo container: For major developments, industrial waste, and high-volume operations.
