Why compact cardboard waste in Bath?
The key advantages for businesses in Bath to start compacting cardboard include:
- Improved kerb appeal: Having lots of overflowing bins can give the impression that you don't have good waste management systems in place. By condensing your box waste using a compactor or baler instead of a bin, you'll be able to temporarily store more waste in the same space.
- Reinforce your sustainable credentials: Lots of businesses claim to have a sustainable ethos but if your waste handling procedures are lacking, your stakeholders could start to question the validity of your claims. Installing a baler or waste compactor shows your support for the Bath & North East Somerset Council's aim to reduce waste as part of their Towards Zero Waste 2030 strategy published on 16th March 2024.
- Improved customer satisfaction: Customer interaction with colleagues can help to boost your customer satisfaction ratings. Using a compactor for your cardboard enables your colleagues to spend more time helping customers and less time squashing waste into bins.
- Fewer bins required: Businesses in the historic parts of Bath such as Milsom Street, can often struggle with limited space for commercial bins. By using a baler, businesses can condense the number of bins needed whilst still fulfilling their legal obligation to store commercial waste securely.
- Recycling compliance: Using a baler is a visual demonstration of the adherence to the requirement for all businesses to segregate recyclable material from general waste. As a result, waste baling is fully compliant Simpler Recycling Waste Segregation Legislation that has applied to all businesses in Bath since 31st March 2025.
