Pay as you go sacks

Sack collection services are available on a pay as you go or annual rolling contract basis, recommended for businesses with limited storage space as an alternative to having a bin.

We also offer cardboard strips to bundle your flattened cardboard. These will help you to save space in your sacks for other waste items.

If you don’t have room to store bins on your premises, contact us at csi@barnet.gov.uk to discuss your options.

The type of containers you are assessed for may depend on the space you have on your premises and if your business is in a time banded location

Enough storage space must be made available for the number of refuse and recycling containers required for the maximum number of households, as outlined in the guide.

Waste management plans must be reviewed prior to construction to ensure the layout of sites complies with council health and safety requirements to prevent issues during bin collections in the future.
