Waste disposal for your new office fit-out
Don't waste time – get your office waste sorted!
When you're moving office the one thing that is often overlooked by businesses is the need to dispose of any waste created in the process of the relocation or the office fit-out. Although it is neither the fun nor glamorous side of office moving, it is absolutely essential that offices comply with waste disposal in a responsible and methodical way. The law stipulates a number of regulations that oversee the careful disposal of waste generated by companies, so ensure that you have your disposal methods checked out.
By law, you must record any waste that leaves your offices following a fit-out. The most important thing to remember is that if one of your contractors dumps rubbish in the wrong place then it is your company that is liable, which can be especially troublesome if their means of disposal causes damage. Your Office Fit-out company, will of course, take care of this on your behalf, but it's important to make you aware of the directives that govern office waste.
