Types of retail waste
The retail industry is huge and covers a wide net – from grocery stores to clothes shops, independent boutiques, and nationwide chains. Retailers of any size, location, and industry all create trash through their daily operations. Reasons for waste in retail include customer returns, expired items, broken products, and packaging from deliveries.
Types of garbage produced by stores vary depending on the items they sell, their size, and other factors. Most retailers generate a few common waste materials and should segregate them to recycle and dispose of them responsibly. These are some common types of retail waste:
- Food waste – leftovers from customers, expired shelf items, and damaged food that’s inedible and unsellable.
- Solid waste – non-recyclable packaging waste, food scraps and trash from shoppers and staff.
- Cardboard – packaging such as cardboard boxes for goods, deliveries, and storage.
- Plastics – waste plastic packaging such as wrapping and bags, returned and damaged plastic items.
- Electronics – broken and damaged electronic items that can’t be sold.
Retail waste collection
Schedule regular retail waste collection to ensure all trash is removed from your store at the end of the day or week. Choose between daily, weekly, and fortnightly commercial trash collections from your retail outlet. You can combine the best dumpsters and bins with a pickup frequency that’s cost-effective and efficient.
Arrange collections on a basis that suits the types and volumes of garbage your store creates. You can adapt pickup frequencies for different dumpsters and materials. For example, you might want daily removals of your food waste to prevent it from smelling, but only need weekly collections of cardboard for an affordable and bespoke solution.
Collections from your retail store can be made at convenient times and days to minimize disruption for customers and staff. These could be after your doors shut at the end of the day or before opening hours. We also appreciate that seasonality affects levels and types of retail waste so we offer flexible solutions to meet your needs.
Retail waste recycling
Stores produce all sorts of recyclable trash so it’s important this is separated from solid waste and processed properly. Retail recycling extracts value from the materials, contributes to a circular economy, and helps reduce your store’s carbon footprint. Packaging, cardboard, and even electronics are all recyclable.
Our retail waste recycling services mean cardboard, paper, and some plastics will be taken to recycling centers after collection. The materials are separated, checked, cleaned, and recycled in their individual material streams. They’re usually turned into new cardboard, paper, and plastics that are used to create new products.
Electronic products can be stripped down and different materials removed and recycled too. Retail recycling is important, so your store operates sustainably and saves money on your waste management costs. We keep all trash away from landfills where possible and send food waste to composting and anaerobic digestion facilities too.
Dumpsters and bins
for retail stores
Segregate and store any type and volume of waste with a wide range of dumpster rental options. These range from small trash carts to big dumpsters and large static roll offs for retailers with space. Combine suitable bins and dumpsters with a collection frequency that’s cost-effective to avoid paying for only half-full dumpster pickups.
You could use large dumpsters and roll offs to store high volumes of waste and arrange less frequent removals to save money. Compactors are available to reduce the volume of dry waste such as paper and cardboard. Ensure your retail store has enough room on site to place any static containers with adequate access space for removal.

-
2 yard dumpsters

-
8 yard dumpsters
