Sustainability & recycling

The hospitality and tourism sectors are changing rapidly, with more companies wanting to make a positive impact on the local environment. Hills Waste Solutions can help you to achieve your sustainability targets and advise you on hospitality waste reduction and how to recycle locally.

Health & safety

At Hills Waste, we’re proud to be one of just a few businesses in our sector to achieve the ISO treble, meaning we’re independently certified to ISO 14001, 45001 and 9001 standards. That means whilst the team gets on with the work, health and safety and compliance is never far from our minds.

The importance of a waste
management plan

If you work in the hospitality or tourism industry, you already understand the importance of an effective waste management plan. But planning about your waste isn’t only about avoiding penalties – there are rewards to be had too. Limiting the volume of waste you send to landfill can reduce your business costs and cut your carbon footprint.

Hills Waste Solutions has supported the hospitality and tourism industry for decades with cost-effective and greener waste management plans designed to fit your workplace.

Waste rules and regulations

In the UK, the EU Waste Framework Directive sets out key legislation on waste. The directive outlines a clear waste hierarchy, with waste prevention at the top, followed by reuse, recycling, recovery, and disposal.

Regardless of what your business does, commercial waste must be correctly managed. This means efficient waste practices such as separating, storing and transporting waste are taken into account. And, it’s important to identify/classify your waste before it’s disposed of and to ensure your waste carrier is licensed correctly.

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

Dry mixed recycling

We collect and recycle all dry mixed recycling so you don't need to needing to separate. This includes Cardboard, paper, food and drink cans, plastic pots, tubs and trays, and empty aerosols.
