For a city as picturesque as Bath, sitting in a valley surrounded by lush green hills and meandering rivers, recycling and waste management is an important part of keeping the city’s streets and natural surroundings clean of waste.
Renowned for its Roman origins, Bath's story dates back thousands of years, with its iconic Roman-built baths serving as a testament to its ancient heritage. The city's economy thrives on a vibrant mix of tourism, education, and wellness industries, drawing visitors from all corners of the globe to experience its thermal spas, historic sites, distinctive Georgian architecture and cultural festivals.
Keeping Bath clean through sustainable local waste disposal.
Bath exemplifies an innovative approach to waste management, prioritising sustainability and environmental responsibility. Indeed, the city has been named as one of the top performing areas in the UK for recycling, with a household recycling rate of 59.2% reported in 2021-2022. Only 2.8% of the city’s waste ends up in landfills and 32% of the total waste is sent for energy recovery. Bath’s recycling rate far exceeds the national average of 44.6%.
Community engagement plays a vital role in achieving these excellent results, supported by extensive educational programs that promote proper waste sorting and reduction. Bath's commitment to curbing waste is evident in its initiatives, such as promoting reusable products, encouraging composting, and facilitating drop-off points for electronic waste. The city's progressive stance on waste management not only preserves the beauty of its natural surroundings and golden-coloured stone buildings but also sets an inspiring example for others aiming to achieve greener, more sustainable waste management practices.
Commercial waste management in BA1
Although domestic household waste is collected and managed by the local council, businesses must arrange for their commercial waste to be collected by a locally registered waste disposal contractor. Businesses in Bath and North East Somerset are expected to manage their recycling and waste responsibly, and have a legal duty to make sure that any waste they produce is disposed of safely and within the law. Failure to comply with this can result in prosecutions, so it is vital to select a registered contractor you can trust to dispose of your commercial waste responsibly.
As an independent waste management company with a proud heritage, Hills Waste Solutions is working hard to help keep Bath clean and improve recycling rates even further. Serving as a licensed local provider for industrial and commercial waste services, our origins trace back to Wiltshire in 1900, and our operations now span across the entire West Country. We contribute significantly to the regional economy, care passionately about the environment and are committed to being good neighbours in all the local regions where we work.
Hills Waste Solutions offers waste management services for businesses throughout Bath and surrounding areas in North East Somerset, serving schools, hospitals, offices, retail outlets, catering services, restaurants, constructions and every other type of commercial organisation. We not only remove commercial bins and waste safely and in compliance with local and national regulations, but we can also help your business implement sustainable practices around waste management and help to make the entire process easier. We’re deeply rooted in the West Country market, so we understand the needs and challenges of local businesses and pride ourselves on our ability to adapt to your needs. No matter if your business is small or large or whether you need a one-off or regular collection service, Hills allows you to easily tailor your waste services to suit your specific requirements.
Our fleet of waste collection vehicles can collect from anywhere in Bath before transporting it to a local waste management facility for disposal and recycling, according to the most sustainable best practices. We collect general waste, food and recyclables from over 1400 sites in local areas including Bristol, Bath, Weston-super-Mare, Yate, Thornbury, Clevedon, Avonmouth and Keynsham and take it to our Bristol transport depot. Some of this waste is diverted from landfill and sent to a mechanical and biological treatment (MBT) centre in the area that creates solid recovered fuel (SRF) for use in renewable energy plants. This treatment centre, Northacre Resource Recovery Centre, is a public-private partnership between Hills Waste Solutions and Wiltshire Council.
