1. Commercial, Industrial, Business or Trade Waste is the type of waste produced by tradespeople, contractors or labourers working at residential or business premises.  This includes landlords disposing of waste from rental properties, or waste that entails payment for disposal.  This type of waste requires a “waste carriers licence” and subject to “Duty of Care”.
2. The introduction of the trade disposal service at Greenfield Household Recycling Centre is to support local traders to dispose of their waste and recycling correctly and comply with Welsh Government legislation.
3. All trade waste and recycling must be disposed of at our Greenfield Household Recycling Centre, opening days Thursday – Monday 9am – 5pm. Greenfield Business Park No2, Greenfield, CH8 7GJ.
