Ensuring your waste provider is fully compliant is not just a legal requirement, it’s a cornerstone of responsible business practice. Compliance means your provider follows strict regulations for handling, transporting, and disposing of waste, protecting public health, the environment, and your company’s reputation. Non-compliance can lead to heavy fines, legal penalties, environmental harm, and loss of trust.  

We are thrilled to announce that we have been awarded the prestigious CHAS certification after demonstrating full compliance with CHAS standards, in line with the requirements of SSIP Core Criteria and UK Health & Safety Legislation.  

The CHAS certification is a powerful signal that we (and by extension, our waste management partners) meet rigorous standards for health, safety, and risk management. Recognised across the UK as a benchmark for compliance, CHAS streamlines pre-qualification and proves our commitment to best practices. CHAS accreditation covers multiple areas, including health & safety, environmental management, and supply chain risk, ensuring that all contractors and suppliers are assessed against industry-leading criteria. 

What this means to us  

• Pride in our people: This certification reflects our team’s hard work and professionalism.  

• Confidence for our clients: Partners and customers can trust that we operate to the highest standards.  

• A safer future: We are committed to continuous improvement, making sure Health & Safety remains at the heart of everything we do.  

Clare Verity, Director and Founder said:
