What To Look For When Hiring A Commercial Rubbish Removal Service?

waste removal and recycle services

Even though the number of rubbish removal services in major cities around the world have more than doubled in the past decade not every one of them offers great commercial rubbish removal. In the developed world commercial rubbish removal is a whole different ball game and is a lot like industrial rubbish removal. The removal service in many countries also needs to be certified and have a license to carry out removal of what may be identified as hazardous waste or dangerous substances. Hiring the wrong service could land your business into trouble and so every possible step should be taken to make sure that you hire a qualified and reliable service.

 

The service should specifically provide commercial removal

Before you hire a service to remove your rubbish you need to verify if they provide commercial removal. Commercial removal may be slightly more expensive but that is only because they need to handle your rubbish with extra care. Simply assuming that you can put everything into a trash bin and ask any service to dispose of it is a bad idea. It could in some cases even land you in trouble if what you put in your trash bin is perceived to be hazardous. Any harm caused because of this hazardous waste will end up with a lawsuit against you. So, make sure that you double check what the service to make sure that they offer commercial services.

They need to be insured

Ideally, the commercial rubbish removal service you hire should be insured. Even though their insurance does not mean anything to you but in the event something goes wrong you’ll not have to pay for it. For instance, if you’re discarding glass in your trash or mercury bulbs and one of the people disposing of the trash get hurt you will not be liable to pay for it but rather their insurance will clear up everything. The tricky part is that not every service is necessarily insured and even if they are it’s often not mentioned on their website. But this is something you’ll need to specifically prior to hiring them.

The commercial service should be reputed

When short listing commercial rubbish removal services the one thing you should do is to short list them based on reputation. Ideally, you will want to remove all the companies that have not been in business for over five years. Keeping companies that have been working in your area for five years or more means that you’re dealing with a professional service that is providing a good enough service to keep them alive. Then you can further shortlist based on the reviews you find and what your neighbors may tell you. You can also further short list based on price something we will look at below.

The pricing

One of the other things that you need to check prior to hiring a commercial rubbish removal service is the pricing. Usually, established, licensed and insured services are slightly more expensive than startups that are not licensed and established. Ideally, you should only check the pricing of companies that are established, licensed and insured and compare the rates that they offer among each other. This is the only way you can be sure that you are getting a comparatively low price for good services. If you require a special sort of commercial rubbish removal service then be sure to get a quote first from all the leading companies operating in your area so that you can compare the pricing with taxes accordingly.

Even though the number of commercial rubbish removal services has certainly increased alongside industrial waste cleanup services the fact is that finding a good professional is still difficult. There are many businesses who complain that either their commercial rubbish removal service is not reliable or that they charge too much. The only way to avoid problems like this is to follow the tips above.
