Waste Services

Equans’ waste services help clients achieve sustainability goals and reduce environmental impact through management which focuses on waste hierarchy, effective segregation, diverting waste from landfill and maintaining a safe and hygienic working environment for all building users.

Our tailored waste solutions ensure you are supplied with quality and compliant waste containers, with flexible and efficient collection options to suit your needs. Customer service is at the heart of everything we do, so you can rest assured your recycling needs are in the hands of experts.

Our services

Our waste management services are comprehensive and cover all aspects of storage, collection, document control and reporting, including:

  • Provision of waste receptacles
    We provide UN-approved waste containers to allow effective and compliant segregation of waste streams. Regular checks ensure they remain in good repair and storage is fully secure. Signage for segregated bins can also be provided.
  • Sustainable waste partnerships
    We use licensed waste contractors who apply the waste hierarchy and offer recycling and recovery options for your waste streams.
  • Reactive collections
    Reactive and ad-hoc collections are managed through our CAFM system. Requests are monitored and analysed for patterns, so scheduled collections can be adjusted accordingly where necessary.
  • Scheduled collections
    We offer scheduled collections through third-party licensed contractors; programmed into our CAFM system.
  • Document control
    We provide clients with all duty of care information; including waste carriers licences, permits (and licences of any subcontractors), and waste transfer and consignment notes for all uplifts.
  • Auditing
    We undertake regular ‘Duty of Care’ waste disposal audits and assessments
  • Waste reporting
    Monthly reports and dashboards detail the volume, weight and disposal method of waste materials collected. Reporting can be tailored to your needs.
