Waste collection for garages and MOT workshops — general, recycling and guidance on oily and hazardous streams, compared across licensed partners.
Independent garages, MOT bays and bodyshops produce mixed workshop waste: packaging, paper, used absorbents, and sometimes hazardous streams such as oily rags, waste oil, batteries and tyres. Those hazardous items are not general waste. Stratos Environmental compares licensed carriers for the streams we can place through our partner network and will be clear when oil, tyres or batteries need a dedicated hazardous contractor.
A well-run garage usually has a general bin plus recycling, then separate arrangements for oil and tyres. Mixing oily waste into general is a common and expensive mistake.
Bins have to sit where cars can still move. 240L or 360L bins collected often often beat a 1100L that blocks a ramp. We factor access into the quote.
Usually no — oily rags and absorbents are often hazardous. They need a specialist stream, not the general bin.
Those are specialist hazardous or producer-take-back streams. We can advise and, where our partners cover them, include them in a comparison; otherwise we will tell you they need a dedicated contractor.
Many independents run 240L or 360L general waste plus recycling. We'll size it to your packaging volume and yard space.
