Commercial Waste and Recycling Services
We offer a wide range of waste and recycling services for businesses and charities across South West Scotland.
COVID-19 Update
Should your business need to close due to restrictions in place, please email wastecollectionservices@dumgal.gov.uk to suspend your service. This will enable us to stop your waste uplifts and stop any charges for waste during the closure of your business.
We do invoice in advance, therefore if you need to stop your service part way through a quarter we will place your invoice on hold, then issue a credit at the end of the quarter. This will enable us to credit your account accordingly.
We're the largest waste organisation in Dumfries and Galloway. Our 100 staff and 30 vehicles provide services to over 2,000 customers across the region. This includes:
- commercial waste collection including Self Catering and Holiday Home Waste
- commercial bulky waste uplifts
