Office collection planning starts with what the building already provides. Establish responsibility for shared bins and storage before adding a service for one occupier.
Start here
Use the main commercial waste page when the job needs a broader business waste setup.

Record paper, packaging, food waste and residual waste separately. Include office occupancy and storage capacity rather than basing frequency on a one-off archive backlog. Follow current workplace segregation guidance when organising kitchen and desk collection points.
Identify who owns or manages the containers, who presents them and who admits collection staff. Give the waste-store entrance and available access times. Reception hours may not describe access to a rear loading area or a locked store.
List confidential files, computers and other devices by type and quantity. Ask for the handling and evidence needed; ordinary waste collection is not itself a promise of secure destruction. Settle any data-handling arrangements before equipment leaves the business.
Count desks, chairs, cupboards and loose contents, then show floors, lifts and carrying routes. State whether dismantling remains. Keep clearance at an old address separate from the start of collections at the new premises.
Questions people usually ask
Ask which scheduled or on-request arrangements are available for its quantities and storage. Confirm notice, charges and container provision before relying on an ad hoc visit.
Check the existing agreement. A recurring bin service should not be assumed to cover desks, equipment or the labour to clear rooms.
