Many UK businesses are overpaying for commercial waste because contracts, bin sizes and recycling arrangements are rarely reviewed.

With landfill tax now at £130.75 per tonne and new recycling and digital tracking rules arriving in 2026, outdated setups can quietly increase costs.

NE1 Compliance & Audit Ltd provides independent waste audits that identify avoidable costs, improve segregation, reduce general waste and highlight cost saving opportunities.

Your 5‑Minute Waste Cost Check

You may be overspending if:

  • Bin sizes haven’t been reviewed in 12 months

  • Collections happen when bins are under 75% full

  • Recycling, food waste and general waste aren’t separated

  • You don’t know whether rebates apply

  • Costs have risen but waste volume hasn’t

  • You’re on an auto‑renewing contract

  • You haven’t had a waste audit in two years

What NE1 Checks

  • Waste invoices and contract terms

  • Bin sizes and collection frequency

  • General waste, recycling, food waste and specialist streams

  • Contamination risks and staff segregation practices

  • Potential rebate opportunities

  • Compliance readiness for current & upcoming waste regulations

‍ Waste management is one of those business costs that often sits in the background. The invoice arrives, it gets paid, and nobody asks whether the service still fits the operation.

A short review today can prevent unnecessary spend over the next 12 months.
