Case Study

Non-Compliant Bulky Waste Collection Service in London

Project Overview

Dayco Cleaning’s bulky waste collection service involved the urgent clearance of non-compliant waste from a modern waterside residential development in London.

The objective was to remove general household waste, WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment), and hazardous items through a structured waste collection process, and restore the bins store area to a safe and compliant standard within a strict 6-hour timeframe.

The Challenges of a Bulky Waste Removal Service

The client faced a severe waste management issue in the bin store and the surrounding area, requiring urgent waste collection.

The environment had become heavily misused, with unauthorised dumping of bulky waste, including furniture, mattresses, and white goods.
General waste had overflowed, making the space inaccessible and unhygienic
Health and safety risks included trip hazards, biohazard exposure, and potential needlestick injuries
Environmental concerns due to leaking fluids such as refrigerants and oils
Operational constraints due to blocked access, increased fire risk, and vermin infestation
Resident complaints had escalated, requiring immediate waste collection to protect the estate’s reputation and restore functionality

Our Waste Collection Solution

Dayco Cleaning’s bulky waste collection service began with a full site assessment to identify hazards, waste types, and access limitations.

We implemented a structured and compliant approach, which included:

Deployment of a specialist team of four, including a supervisor, trained operatives, and certified drivers
Equipping the team with full PPE, disinfectant systems, and appropriate handling tools
Segreging waste streams into dedicated containers for general waste, WEEE, and recyclable materials
Applying biohazard protocols using sealed clinical waste collection bags and no-touch techniques for contaminated items
Safely handling white goods, ensuring proper recovery of refrigerants and hazardous components
Clearing restricted areas methodically by creating access zones before full removal
Completing a full clean-down using disinfectants, odour neutralisers, and manual sweeping tools

All waste collection work was carried out in line with:

Environmental Protection Act 1990
Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005
Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
Environment Agency licensing requirements

The Results

100% removal of all bulky waste, WEEE, and general refuse
Full restoration of safe and accessible bin storage facilities
Elimination of health, safety, and environmental hazards
Complete compliance with waste management regulations
Site cleared, cleaned, and operational within the 6-hour deadline

Client Feedback

The Estate Management confirmed that our waste collection service met all expectations, and residents expressed satisfaction with its quick and professional delivery.

Based on this project, the client has appointed Dayco Cleaning for a monthly waste collection visit to prevent recurrence and ensure ongoing compliance and resident satisfaction.
