At Marshalls, we believe supporting our local community is just as important as supporting local businesses. This weekend, we were delighted to provide a range of 240-litre Marshalls wheelie bins completely free of charge to help Cawston Primary School with Cawfest 2026. From helping keep the site clean throughout the day to collecting waste after the event, we were proud to play a small part in making the school’s summer fête a success. Our support didn’t stop at delivering

At Marshalls, we're passionate about more than just collecting waste; we're committed to helping create cleaner, greener communities across Norfolk. That's why we were delighted to support a recent community litter pick along Riverside Road in Norwich, organised by St Martins Housing Trust, bringing together volunteers who gave up their time to help make a positive difference to the local environment.

Sometimes the best partnerships begin with a phone call. For Marshalls, that call came through via a referral from The Belle Vue in Norwich; a venue that had recently undergone an extensive renovation project and was preparing to reopen its doors. As opening day approached, one important operational detail had accidentally slipped through the cracks. Waste and recycling provision. A Thursday afternoon call from Operations Director David Sanchez to Marshalls quickly became sam

Historically, Resins ‘R’ Us - one of the UK’s leading supplies of resin-bound driveway materials - disposed of large volumes of cardboard and plastic packaging through FEL bins; creating ongoing collection costs, inconsistent recycling outcomes, and unnecessary vehicle movements.

When Another Waste Company Lets You Down: How We Delivered Bins to Clarence House in 24 Hours For businesses, waste isn’t something you think about… until suddenly you don’t have a bin.

The Problem: No Bins, No Notice, Immediate Need Clarence House already ha

Avoid cross-contamination, protect your team and keep your business compliant For many businesses, waste management is something that happens in the background — until a bin is contaminated, overloaded, or becomes a health and safety problem. But proper waste segregation isn’t just about recycling. It affects compliance, safety, operational efficiency and even costs. At Marshalls , we work with businesses across different sectors every day, and we see first-hand how simple wa

Opening a nursery or childcare setting is exciting - but alongside staffing, safeguarding and creating the right environment for children, waste management is an important area that can be overlooked. Getting the correct waste setup in place early helps childcare providers stay compliant, maintain hygiene standards and avoid unnecessary disruption once children arrive. At Marshalls , we recently worked with Nature’s Nook Day Nursery in Norfolk during their pre-opening phase

FEL Bin vs Skip: Which Is Better (and Cheaper) for Your Business?

If you’ve ever looked at your waste setup and thought “we need something bigger than a kitchen bin, but not a skip” - the 240L wheelie bin is probably exactly what you’re after. It’s one of the most commonly used commercial bins in the UK, and for good reason. Reliable, versatile and easy to manage, it works for a huge range of businesses across Norfolk and beyond.

If your business produces bags of sawdust, you’re not alone.

Every new business has those moments that make it all feel real. For us at Marshalls, this was one of them - the arrival of our first big order of wheelie bins . We did start small.

What Happens in a Free Waste Audit? (The Questions We Ask on Site Visits) When businesses hear the words “waste audit” , they often expect clipboards and a hard sell. That’s not how we work. Our Free Waste Audit is a practical, on-site review designed to understand how your waste is actually being produced, stored and collected, and where things could work better. Here are the questions that usually come up when we visit your site. 1. What Type of Business Is This and How Do

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.

It’s that time of year again - the season of mince pies, overflowing gift wrap, office parties, and deliveries arriving every hour. And with all that festive activity comes one thing businesses and households all have in common: A LOT more waste. December and January sees more packaging, more food waste, more cardboard, more glass, and more general waste than almost any other month. So we’ve pulled together this simple guide to help you stay waste-wise over the holidays, whet
