Commercial waste at household waste and recycling centres


Commercial waste at St Erth and Launceston HWRCs

The service is for businesses that can’t use our Commercial Waste Collection Service because they:

  1. work in other people’s homes or businesses rather than at one premises we could collect from regularly or
  2. don’t generate commercial waste often enough for a regular collection or
  3. have trade waste like electrical items, wood, plasterboard, rubble and bathroom suites that we’re unable to take on our collection vehicles
