Sustainability & recycling

The hospitality and tourism sectors are going through significant change as employers realise the impact their business can have on the local environment. Hills are well placed to help you meet your sustainability goals and can advise you on recycling and what we do with the waste we collect. At Hills we aim to recycle as much business waste as possible, as locally as possible.

Health & safety

As you would expect from an expert waste management company we maintain high standards, and we’re one of only a few Waste Management companies to hold three ISOs, meaning health and safety and compliance are always a priority.

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 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.
