What is professional waste removal?
Professional waste removal offers an alternative or addition to council bin collections. Businesses pay a private company for waste to be collected directly from their premises.
For commercial property managers, a reliable waste removal service – like ours! – means that large volumes of waste aren’t piling up in residential buildings, ensuring a safe and pleasant environment for residents.
Waste issues can be accelerated during high-turnover periods (such as the end of the university year, for example), and indeed the warmer seasons, which may lead to:
- Overflowing bins
- Unpleasant smells
- Pests and rodents
- Complaints from residents.
Luckily, partnering with a licensed waste removal company means that these issues are prevented before they have a chance to develop.

How can proactive waste services prevent problems for property managers?
As we enter the summer months, we all notice an increase in pests – like flies, fruit-flies and wasps – as well as odours from public or private bins.
In residential properties, a high turnover of domestic waste accelerates the need for quick, regular removal. In areas including Greater Manchester and Cheshire – new council schedules mean residents wait three weeks between domestic waste collections. With these new rules in mind, professional waste removal is crucial to prevent problems.
If an issue has already developed, don’t worry – our chemical treatments will remove pests and restore your bins to a clean, hygienic condition.
Across the recent Birmingham Bin Strikes, our clients continued to receive regular collection services and didn’t have to worry about their bins piling up. Alongside supporting our existing clients as usual, our team was also available to assist other property managers – even those not already on our books – with fast, large-scale clearances, often with same-day response.
Ultimately, assigning a professional waste removal team to your property is peace of mind in ensuring consistent waste removal, odour and pest prevention, and compliant and presentable properties for your residents.

FAQs
What is hazardous waste and how should it be disposed of?
Hazardous waste includes items that are toxic, flammable, corrosive or harmful to health or the environment. In a residential setting, this could include paint, chemicals, batteries and electrical items. It must be stored safely, kept separate from general waste and collected by a licensed waste carrier – like us! It’s important to never put hazardous waste in household bins or skips, and always follow government guidelines for proper disposal.
Do I need a licensed waste carrier for property waste removal?
Many UK businesses are not aware of the UK legislation surrounding waste transportation. Crucially, it is illegal to transport or dispose of waste without a valid waste carrier licence. This applies to any business handling waste, including property managers. Even moving your business’s own waste between sites (like taking rubbish to the tip) requires a licence, which is regulated by the Environment Agency. Here at Form Communal, we are fully licensed waste carriers, meaning you can trust us to handle your property waste in full compliance with UK regulations.
Can a waste clearance company help during student move-out periods?
Absolutely. Our top team can handle the removal of unwanted furniture, general waste, old mattresses, broken appliances and even hazardous items such as leftover paint or electrical items being replaced. Once everything is removed, our wider team can also prepare the property for the next client with an end of tenancy deep clean.
What is the best waste removal company for property managers in Manchester and Cheshire?
Here at Form Communal, we cover Manchester, Cheshire, Lancashire and beyond, offering flexible, fast-response waste services.

Yep! Whether it’s an end-of-tenancy or one-off job, our large teams and cage tipper vans are fully equipped to remove bulk waste like mattresses, sofas, white goods and other large items from residential properties. It’s important to remember that electricals are classed as hazardous waste so need to be removed by a licensed waste carrier.
How often should waste collection be scheduled for residential buildings?
This really depends on a number of factors including the size of the residential property and the amount of waste it produces. We can provide a free, tailored quote following an assessment of the property.
