A flexible partner you can rely on

Under the umbrella of the Tourism and Hospitality industry, there are so many unique businesses, large and small: bars; restaurants; hotels; caravan parks; theatres; sports grounds and much more besides. What do they have in common? They all have customer service as a number one priority. And more often than not those businesses rightly expect to have their suppliers be as flexible and willing to adapt to change as they are.

The importance of a waste management plan

If you’re in the hospitality or tourism trade, you’ll probably already understand the importance of a waste management plan.

 

But planning your waste management isn’t simply a chore to avoid negative consequences – there are plenty of rewards to reap too. If you can limit the amount of waste you send to landfill, it’s likely to reduce your business costs and cut your carbon footprint. Plus, customers are attracted to destinations that maintain a high level of hygiene and respect for the local environment.

 

At Hills Waste Solutions, we’ve been partnering with hospitality and tourism businesses for decades, designing bespoke, sustainable waste management plans that flex to meet changing needs.

 

Waste rules and regulations

In the UK, the EU Waste Framework Directive remains the primary guide to legislation on waste. The directive establishes a clear waste hierarchy, advocating waste prevention as a priority, followed by reuse, recycling, recovery and, if necessary, disposal.

 

Whatever the sector, all businesses have a duty to handle their commercial waste appropriately. That means keeping waste to a minimum, ensuring that its stored and transported with due consideration for safety, identifying and classifying it before it’s sent for disposal, and taking steps to confirm that your waste carrier has the correct licences.

 

Hills Waste Solutions is fully licensed to carry all commercial waste streams. We’re also proud to operate our own, licensed waste management facilities, including hazardous waste disposal. 

What can we recycle?

As part of our commitment to total waste management, our focus is on recycling as much commercial waste as possible. As such, we:

Dry mixed recycling

Collect and recycle a range of dry mixed recycling materials without you needing to sort them. This includes cardboard, paper, food and drink cans, plastic pots and bottles and empty aerosols.

Food waste

Turn collected food waste into valuable energy for the National Grid and nutrient-rich organic matter. This includes kitchen and plate waste, production residues, drinks waste and all raw, cooked and even packaged food.

Glass waste

Take away glass waste to be recycled again and again. This includes jars and bottles, regardless of colour, as well as their labels and lids. Did you know that glass bottles can be recycled indefinitely?

What happens to the rest?

We’ll collect that and put it to good use too. General waste covers all other non-hazardous waste that can’t be reused or recycled. We understand that sustainable waste management is one of society’s biggest challenges, so we’ve invested in facilities and technologies to make the most of this waste stream. With Hills, almost nothing goes to landfill. We recycle and recover what we can and turn the rest into renewable energy at our state-of-the-art site in Wiltshire.
