Trade waste collections
We offer a commercial/trade waste collection service to businesses in our District which fully meets the Duty of Care requirements. There are two methods of commercial/trade refuse collection. Please note that waste collection is not included within your Business rates.
At present we do not offer recycling collections for businesses.
Green trade sacks
These are ideal for businesses which produce one or two bags of refuse per week. These can be purchased in rolls of 25 from:
- Ashbourne - Ashbourne Leisure Centre, Leisure Way, DE6 1AA
- Bakewell - Bakewell Swimming Pool, Granby Road, DE45 1ES
- Matlock - Town Hall, Bank Road, DE4 3NN
- Wirksworth - Wirksworth Leisure Centre, Hannage Way, DE4 4JG
Cost
Cost per roll of 25 sacks is £82.50. The charge includes the cost of the sack, collection and disposal of the waste.
Wheeled bins
Bins are emptied weekly but increased frequencies can be arranged. We do not provide a skip service for commercial waste.

To arrange a collection or if you seek further advice please contact us.
Bulky/loose box collections
Any business can request a one off collection of trade waste bulky items. To request such a service please contact us using the details below. There is an hourly charge for this service which includes collection, travelling time and disposal costs.
Hazardous waste collection
Hazardous waste must be segregated from other waste, collected by specialist registered collectors and taken to an approved disposal site for hazardous waste.
Duty of Care
As a business you have a Duty of Care under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 to store, transport and safely dispose of the waste you generate. If you hand over waste to a third party for collection you must ensure that they are an authorised waste carrier and registered with the Environment Agency. Failure to do so could result in enforcement action being taken against you.
