Who We Help (And Why They Usually Call Us)

Most businesses don’t wake up thinking about waste.
They call us when something’s not working - missed collections, overflowing bins, confusing contracts, or a new site that needs setting up properly from day one.
At Marshalls, we sit in the middle. We work with businesses on the ground, and with collectors behind the scenes, making sure waste is managed properly, compliantly and without the usual headaches.

Here’s who we help most often.
1. New Businesses Opening Their Doors
Opening a new business is exciting - but waste is often an afterthought.
We regularly help:
Cafés, restaurants, pubs and takeaways
Salons, gyms and studios
Offices, workshops and light industrial units
We’ll:
Advise what bins you actually need (not what you’re sold)
Get bins on site quickly
Set up collections that match how your business really operates
Make sure you’re compliant from day one
No long contracts. No overkill. Just a solid setup that works.
2. Businesses Moving Premises or Expanding
Moving site or taking on extra space is the perfect time to review your waste -and most businesses don’t.
We help businesses who are:
Relocating to new premises
Expanding into larger units
Opening second or third sites
This is where we add real value:
Reviewing existing waste contracts
Reducing unnecessary collections
Resizing bins to suit actual usage
Improving recycling rates while cutting costs
Most savings come from doing less, not more.
3. Businesses With Bins… But They’re a Mess
This is one of the biggest reasons people call us.
You’ve already got bins - but:
Collections are missed
Bins overflow
Waste areas look untidy or unhygienic
No one knows what goes where
You’re paying for collections you don’t need
We step into:
Audit what’s happening now
Tidy up bin areas (visually and operationally)
Improve reliability with better scheduling
Put the right bins in the right place
Because ugly, unmanaged bins reflect badly on your business - whether you’re customer-facing or not.
4. High-Volume, Single-Stream Waste Producers
Some businesses produce a lot of one type of waste - and using standard wheelie bins just doesn’t make sense.
We regularly work with:
Manufacturers
Breweries and food producers
Warehouses and distribution centres
Businesses producing high volumes of cardboard, glass, wood or packaging
This is where we can make the biggest impact:
Switching from bins to balers, compactors or bottle banks
Reducing collection frequency
Cutting transport costs (waste is charged by weight)
Improving site efficiency and compliance
In many cases, we can halve disposal costs simply by changing the setup.
Why Businesses Choose Marshalls
We’re not tied to one collector. We have our own bins on the ground. And if needed, we’ll even step in and collect ourselves.
That means:
Faster solutions
Better service
Less finger-pointing
A setup that actually works for your business
If your waste feels like it’s being managed around you rather than for you, it’s probably time for a proper conversation.
