Waste collection for hair and beauty salons — compact bins, recycling, sanitary units and clear advice on chemicals and blades.
Salons are small premises with a surprising mix of waste: hair and general rubbish, product packaging, washroom sanitary waste, and sometimes blades or chemical residues that cannot go in the general bin. Stratos Environmental compares licensed collections sized for a high-street salon — usually 240L or 360L — rather than restaurant-scale 1100L bins you have nowhere to store.
Hair dye, solvents and aerosol cans that are not empty can be hazardous. We will not tell you to pour chemicals in the general bin; where our partners cannot take a hazardous stream we will say so.
Most salons need a small bin collected weekly or twice weekly, plus recycling if space allows. Timed sack collections can work where there is no yard at all.
Not in standard dry mixed recycling. Hair belongs in general waste unless you have a specialist organics arrangement.
Only if you use blades, razors or similar. Many hair salons do not; beauty clinics that use needles or blades do.
Usually a 240L or 360L general waste bin, collected weekly. We'll confirm based on chairs and how much packaging you generate.
