Containers and prices
We have a range of containers for your rubbish and recycling collections, which come in various sizes.
If you have an agreement with the Council for removal of your waste, it is compulsory as part of that agreement to have recycling collections as well as rubbish.
It costs just £5.73/ £7.81 per week (depending on contract size) for recycling (plus bin rental if required) and all recycling materials are included (e.g. paper, glass, cardboard, food and plastics).
Alternatively, you can buy an annual permit book to use our Recycling Centres for your recyclable waste only. This costs £298 for a book which contains 52 permits.
For more information on the collections available for your business, contact us on tradewaste@npt.gov.uk or call 01639 686406.

Reinstatement fee
Customers who regularly fail to pay their trade waste invoices will have their:
- service suspended
- waste/recycling containers removed
To continue with our collection service these customers will have to pay in full:
- any outstanding invoices
- a one-off reinstatement fee of £139.50.
We will reintroduce collection and return the containers only when these are paid.
Collection of contaminated recyclables
Some materials put out for trade waste recycling collections are contaminated. Collection crews must reject these materials. Traders have the option to:
- sort the items and put uncontaminated materials back out for collection
- put the contaminated waste out for their next regular residual waste collection - this could result in an excess waste charge
In some cases, the contaminated recyclables must be removed on the day of collection. There is a charge of £92.50 per visit for a residual collection to deal with the contaminated waste.
