them with a commercial waste collection (prices quoted are for
2008/09 starting 1st April 2008);
1. Containers
We offer a selection of modern and hygienic containers, of
varying capacities which will meet your requirements. This
enables you to choose the type of container best suited to your
needs.

galvanised steel waste containers, come complete with plastic
moulded lockable lids and foot operated parking brakes.

2. Pre-paid Sacks
For the majority of small businesses the pre-paid sack service
offers the most effective and flexible solution for disposing of
your business waste, where you do not have storage space for a
bin.
Sacks can be ordered over the phone by calling Council Connect
on 01225 39 40 41
The Lilac sacks cost £1.86 per sack, plus VAT (for orders of 100
or more) which includes supply, delivery, collection and
disposal. Please note that orders below 100 will be charged at
£1.91, plus VAT and there is a minimum order limit of 50
