Why Choose Waste & Washroom for Your Startup?

Early-stage businesses need services that are simple, flexible and cost-effective. Many startups end up on unsuitable contracts, paying more than they should or locked into services that don’t match how their business actually operates. We remove that friction and give you a setup that works now — and scales later.

Waste & Washroom acts as your waste partner, not just another provider. Because we’re a broker, we compare pricing across a wide network of trusted national and local collectors to secure the best deal for your startup. There’s no cost to use our service, and many startups see immediate savings compared to going direct.

We understand that startups grow and change quickly. As your team expands, your premises change or your waste output increases, we adjust your services accordingly — without forcing you into unnecessary upgrades or long-term commitments.

Compliance is fully managed too. We make sure waste transfer notes, duty of care and documentation are always in place, giving founders peace of mind and protecting the business as it grows. You’ll have one dedicated account manager who monitors service levels and resolves issues quickly if anything needs attention.

For startups, that means predictable costs, flexible services and far less admin — all delivered with our zero-landfill commitment in mind.

How it works

Setting up waste and washroom services for a startup doesn’t need to be complicated. Our process is simple, fast and designed to minimise admin so you can focus on building your business.

1. Send us your current invoice (or requirements)

If you already have a provider, send over a recent invoice so we can see exactly what you’re being charged for and match the service like-for-like.
If you’re setting things up for the first time, just tell us what type of business you run and your space — we’ll guide you from there.

We’ll also highlight any opportunities to improve your setup, reduce costs or increase recycling where appropriate.

2. We compare the market for you

We review pricing across our network of national and local providers. Because we’re independent, we focus on both cost and reliability, ensuring your startup is matched with a provider that delivers consistent service.

In many cases, we can even keep an existing supplier in place and move your service onto our negotiated pricing, delivering immediate savings with no disruption.

3. We handle everything

If you go ahead, we manage the full setup or switch for you. That includes arranging collections, managing any exit from an existing agreement, and making sure services start smoothly.

No downtime, no chasing suppliers, and no admin burden on your team.

One point of contact from day one.
