Simply Waste Solutions has grown into a significant player in the UK’s expanding commercial waste industry since its founding in 2006. The company now manages over 80,000 tonnes of waste annually and completes more than 20,000 collections each week, serving businesses across Greater London, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, and nearby areas.
James Capel started the company with a vision to deliver flexible waste management, and they’ve stuck to that approach. They’ve earned some recognition along the way – they made it onto the “1000 Companies to Inspire Britain” list in 2016 and have picked up several ISO certifications for their quality, environmental, and safety standards.
When it comes to services, they handle pretty much everything. They’ll collect your everyday commercial waste with different sized containers – wheelie bins, skips, you name it. They’re big on recycling too, taking care of materials like plastic bottles, paper, cardboard, and glass. Got hazardous waste like chemicals or fluorescent lamps? They’ll sort that out. Need confidential documents shredded? They can do it on-site or take it away to destroy securely.
One thing that sets them apart is their commitment to keeping waste out of landfills. Everything they collect either gets recycled or turned into energy. They’ll even come in and do a free waste audit to help you figure out how to manage your waste better.
Their customer reviews tell an interesting story. With a 3.9 out of 5 rating from over 300 reviews, most people seem pretty happy – 85% gave them five stars. Customers often mention their friendly support team and reliable collections. But it’s not all perfect. Some customers have complained about staffing issues and how the company sometimes struggles when things go wrong. They’ve had instances where bins were left full and customers were left wondering what happened.
They’re flexible with pricing – you can opt for fixed rates, pay per collection, or set up a contract. You can reach their support team Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm, either by phone or through their website.
Simply Waste Solutions works well for businesses looking for more than just basic waste collection. But if you’re outside their coverage areas or only need minimal waste services, you might want to look elsewhere. The company has clearly grown a lot since 2006, but that growth has brought some growing pains – especially when it comes to handling service hiccups.
