Customer info for Waste Chasers including weekly and monthly collections, new customer forms, licenses, agreements, do’s and don’t, and FAQs.
Collection Areas
Please Note:
- We will travel beyond this area for large jobs, particularly large clear outs of confidential waste.
- We can give approx times slots for pick-ups.
- We offer regular collection days across West Yorkshire and approx. time slots for pickups. Please call to discuss your requirements.
- If you are planning to deliver to us, please ring to let us know in advance.
- All the paper we shred is sent on to the paper mill for recycling, and so any plastic found will incur penalty costs.
- Please don’t overfill the sack more than 15 kilos.
- Watch your confidential paper being shred on request.
Accessibility:
On your collection day, your paper needs to be stored on the ground floor and be easily accessible to our driver. We are able to make collections from less accessible storage places (ie upper floors with no lift access or from cellars), but we may make an additional charge to cover the time taken. If your paper is in a cellar please make sure it is dry. Wet & mouldy paper is a health & safety problem.
