Jobs boost for refuse and recycling company

York-based BusinessWaste.co.uk, a national waste and recycling company which provides refuse services to commercial clients, plans to add 15 new posts on top of the 58 it already provides in the local area.

Founded in 2015, the company now boasts a turnover of more than £10m, and is hoping to increase this to £13.5m in the coming year.

BusinessWaste.co.uk managing director David Adams said he was proud of how the firm has grown. He said: “In an uncertain time for businesses up and down the country, we’re continuing to bring in local jobs for our national company.”

Born out of the idea of providing companies and organisations with the cheapest available commercial waste contracts, BusinessWaste.co.uk currently has over 12,000 customers creating a turnover of some £10.2m in 2019.

The company moved into its second York office due to expansion in 2017, and has provided apprentices for 22 people.

It has also invested £235,000 on in-house software, specifically designed to give customers the best possible deal for their waste collections.

BusinessWaste.co.uk says it is proud of its green record, having diverted over 50,000 tonnes of waste from landfill.

Mark Hall, spokesman for the business, added: “Then there’s the 17 million glass bottles we’ve recycled. That’s a lot of glass.

“Not only do we encourage our customers to join our green commitments, we’ve also been at the sharp end of campaigns to discourage single-use plastics. Having a greener business is – in the long term – great for business.”

Adams said: “We’re proud and thrilled of our success story. And every new job we create makes us prouder still.”

“We refuse to be beaten on price. And not only that, we refuse to be beaten on having most reliable service in the trade as well.

“We have a great culture including shared learning and mind fullness. We just enjoy being a big happy team.”
