If you run a business in Grantham, your waste is your legal responsibility until a licensed carrier takes it off your hands. BSH Recycling does exactly that. We collect commercial waste across Grantham and the surrounding villages from our base in Bourne, with wheelie bins from 240 litres to 1100 litres and collection schedules that fit around your trading hours rather than ours.
We are a family owned firm, trading since 2002, with over 50 staff across two Lincolnshire depots. Commercial collections are a growing part of what we do, and we recently put a new commercial waste lorry on the road to extend our rounds across Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire. Grantham sits comfortably inside that patch.
We handle four waste streams. General waste, food waste, cardboard and glass. That covers most businesses in town, from the pubs and restaurants on the High Street to offices, schools, workshops and the logistics and food firms along the A1 corridor.
Two things our Grantham customers tend to like. There is no rental charge on the bins, you only pay for collections. And the schedule is genuinely flexible. If your volumes change mid contract, we adjust the frequency rather than leaving you paying to empty air. We say this because it is common in this industry for businesses to be sold bigger bins and more collections than they need. Right sizing the service is the whole point of our setup process.
The compliance side trips up more businesses than the cost side, so here is the short version.
Every trade premises needs a waste agreement with a licensed carrier and must hold duty of care documentation. Commercial waste cannot go in domestic bins or to the household tip, and councils do check. We provide your duty of care certificate free as part of the service.
On top of that, workplace recycling rules in England changed in March 2025. Most businesses now have to keep food waste, paper and card, and dry recyclables separate from general waste. If everything at your premises still goes into one bin, you are likely behind the regulations. The fix is straightforward, separate bins for separate streams, and it usually trims your bill too because general waste is the dearest stream to dispose of. Segregated cardboard, under the cardboard only policy we introduced in February 2026, is hand sorted at our depots and 100% recycled.
If you want a sanity check on your setup, ring 01778 394044, Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm. No charge for the conversation.
Our refuse vehicle carries an onboard weighing system, so your waste is weighed at the point of collection. You get actual data on what your business produces rather than estimates.
For a lot of Grantham firms this is just useful housekeeping. For others it matters commercially. Waste tonnage reporting is turning up more and more in supply chain questionnaires and contract tenders, especially for food and logistics businesses. Being able to produce real collection data, and show a falling general waste line, is the kind of evidence those forms ask for. It comes as part of our service, not as an extra.
Everything we collect in Grantham goes back to our own registered waste transfer stations in Bourne and Peterborough. It is hand sorted, recyclables are recovered, and across the business we divert up to 99.9% of waste from landfill, with residual material going to RDF and SRF rather than into the ground. We are ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certified and FORS accredited.
Worth asking any waste company you compare us with. Do they own their own transfer stations, or are they a broker subcontracting your collections to whoever is cheapest that month? With us the bins, the lorries, the crews and the sorting line are all one business, so the answer to where did my waste go is never a shrug.
Our 4 step process keeps it quick. We establish your requirements, you return the account form and contract, we confirm the collection schedule, then service runs as agreed. Contracts are 12 months with 3 months notice from the end of term, all stated up front.
If your site produces more than bin waste, we can bundle services. Commercial skips from 2 to 40 cubic yards, grab hire for soil and rubble, and aggregates delivered. Builders merchants worth of services, one invoice.
We collect in Grantham and the villages around it, including Barrowby, Great Gonerby, Harlaxton and Colsterworth, plus Sleaford, Bourne and Stamford. See our areas covered page for the full list.
