South Holland runs on food. Growers, packers, hauliers and processors around Holbeach move enormous volumes of produce, and all of it generates waste that someone has to deal with properly. BSH Recycling collects commercial waste across Holbeach and the surrounding villages from our base in Bourne, with wheelie bins from 240 litres to 1100 litres and collection schedules that match how your business actually works.
We are a family owned Lincolnshire firm, trading since 2002, with our own lorries, our own crews and our own waste transfer stations. We added a new commercial waste vehicle to the fleet this year to extend our rounds across the county, and the Holbeach area is part of that growth. We already collect from pubs, shops, schools and food businesses across South Holland.
Four streams. General waste, food waste, cardboard and glass. For the food businesses that dominate this area, the food waste and cardboard streams do most of the work.
No rental charge on the bins, you pay for collections only. And the schedule flexes. Harvest and packing seasons around Holbeach create big swings in waste volume, so we set collections up to swing with them. More frequent in season, scaled back after. You should not pay all year for your busiest fortnight.
The regulations matter here more than most places, so plainly put.
Since March 2025, workplaces in England must separate food waste, paper and card, and other dry recyclables from general waste. For packhouses and food processors around Holbeach that means organic waste and cardboard packaging need their own streams. It is not optional, and mixed bins are getting harder to defend in an audit.
The good news is that compliance and cost cutting point the same way. General waste is the most expensive stream to dispose of. Strip the cardboard and food waste out of it and the bill drops. Our cardboard only policy, in place since February 2026, gives cardboard a dedicated bin, hand sorted at our depot and 100% recycled, which audits and retailer questionnaires look on kindly.
And the basics apply to every business however small. Licensed waste carrier, duty of care paperwork. We provide the duty of care certificate free with the service. Not sure if your setup passes? Call 01778 394044, Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm, and we will tell you honestly.
Our refuse vehicle weighs every bin at the point of collection through an onboard weighing system. That gives you actual tonnage per stream, per collection.
For South Holland food businesses this is worth real money. Supermarket supplier audits, BRC style questionnaires and contract tenders increasingly ask for waste and recycling figures. Most firms answer with estimates. Our customers answer with weighed data, stream by stream, straight from the collection records. Smaller businesses use the same numbers more simply, to confirm bin sizes are right and spot waste creep. It comes with the service, no extra cost.
Everything we collect around Holbeach goes back to our registered waste transfer stations in Bourne and Peterborough. Waste is hand sorted, recyclables recovered, and across the business up to 99.9% is diverted from landfill. Residual waste becomes RDF and SRF fuel rather than landfill. We hold ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certification and FORS accreditation.
We are not brokers. The bins, lorries, crews and sorting lines are all ours, so the chain of custody for your waste is one company long. When an auditor asks where it went, the answer comes with paperwork
Setup runs through our 4 step process. We establish your requirements, you complete the account form and contract, we confirm the collection schedule, and service begins as agreed. Contracts are 12 months with 3 months notice from the end of term, explained before you sign.
Need more than bins? We supply commercial skips from 2 to 40 cubic yards, grab hire for soil, concrete and yard material, and aggregates delivered to site. Bins, skips and muck away on one account is a common setup for the bigger sites out here.
We collect across Holbeach and the villages around it, including Whaplode, Moulton, Fleet Hargate, Gedney and Sutton Bridge, plus Spalding and Long Sutton. Full coverage on our areas covered page.
