General Waste Haulage & Transport Services
Professional, compliant, and reliable disposal of your non-recyclable commercial waste. We handle the logistics, so you can focus on your business.
Smith Haulage is a leading provider of commercial general waste collection and transport services across London and the South East. We specialise in the efficient and compliant removal of non-hazardous, non-recyclable waste from businesses, construction sites, and industrial facilities, ensuring it is disposed of responsibly at licensed energy-from-waste (EfW) or landfill sites.
What is Classed as General Waste?
General waste, often referred to as residual waste, consists of materials that cannot be practically recycled and are destined for recovery or disposal. This typically includes:
Mixed non-recyclable packaging
Contaminated materials (e.g., food-soiled paper or plastic)
Sanitary waste
Certain types of construction and demolition waste
Other non-hazardous commercial refuse
Our residual waste disposal service is designed for businesses that generate significant volumes of general waste, providing a cost-effective and reliable alternative to standard bin collections.
Our General Waste Transport Process
We ensure your waste is handled efficiently from collection to final disposal, with full compliance at every stage.
Collection: We provide scheduled or ad-hoc general waste transport using our modern fleet of articulated lorries and walking floor trailers.
Secure Transport: Your waste is securely contained during transit to prevent spillage or environmental contamination.
Responsible Disposal: We transport waste to licensed energy-from-waste facilities or landfill sites, prioritising recovery where possible.
Full Documentation: We supply all necessary waste transfer notes and documentation to ensure your business remains fully waste carrier compliant.
