Retail and hospitality waste streams
Bicester’s retail and visitor economy can create waste streams that need more care than standard commercial refuse. Shops, cafés, restaurants, maintenance contractors and facilities teams may encounter aerosols, fluorescent tubes, small WEEE items, fridge units, cleaning chemicals and packaged food waste. These materials should not be mixed with general waste where they have hazardous properties or require specialist treatment. Businesses in and around the town benefit from identifying which items are hazardous, separating them at source and arranging suitable collection before storage areas become congested.
