Waste and Environmental Management

Trade waste

Every business that creates waste is obliged to dispose of this waste in a safe and correct manner. Businesses must dispose of their waste through a registered waste management company. North Lanarkshire Council's Cleansing Sales Officers will visit your premises and offer services that deal economically, effectively and ethically with trade waste.

Reducing trade waste

WRAP helps individuals, businesses and local authorities to reduce waste and recycle more, making better use of resources and helping to tackle climate change.

WRAP Scotland has been created with the aim of meeting the strategic priority objectives of the Scottish Government to create a 'Greener', 'Wealthier' and 'Healthier' Scotland and ultimately a 'zero waste', resource efficient society.

Local businesses and local responsibilities

North Lanarkshire Council has a team of environmental wardens that tackles the problems of litter, fly tipping and fly posting. Businesses must keep the footways around their premises clear to ensure the safety of pedestrians.

Good business is efficient business is green business

Make a business decision that's designed to help the environment and it will probably help your business' performance and bottom line too. Small changes can make a big difference.
