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. Here’s everything you need to know. What Is a 240L Wheelie Bin? The 240 litre wheelie bin  sits comfortably in

If your business produces bags of sawdust, you’re not alone. Workshops, joiners, carpenters, manufacturers and timber processors across the UK deal with sawdust waste every day, and managing it properly is essential for safety, compliance and cost control. Here’s how to handle sawdust disposal efficiently, and when it’s time to rethink your current setup.

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.

Opening a new business is exciting - new premises, new customers, new branding, new processes… but one thing many business owners forget  to plan for is their commercial waste . It’s not glamorous, but it’s essential.

And if you don’t get it right early on, it can quickly become expensive, mess

When you’re choosing a waste company for your business, site, or project, it’s not just about convenience - it’s about compliance.

That’s why we’re proud to hold a full Upper-Tier Waste Carrier, Broker & Dealer Licence  - allowing us to collect, transport, broker and tip waste legally and responsibly  for businesses

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

When you put your waste out for collection, what actually happens to it next? The honest answer: it depends entirely on who collects it. Not every waste company follows the same processes, and not every collector uses licensed, compliant waste sites. This is exactly why at Marshalls, we only work with fully licensed waste carriers and licensed waste transfer stations, ensuring every load is handled safely, legally and as sustainably as possible.

If you run a pub, café, shop or workshop in Norfolk, one thing you don’t  want is to be on the hook for a waste-fine, or to have your bin refused because something was in it that shouldn’t have been. That’s why we at Marshalls Waste have pulled together this guide - so you know exactly what goes where, and how to stay compliant. ✅ What the Law Says - via WRAP From 31 March 2025, most businesses in England must separately collect: dry recyclable materials (glass, metal, plasti

We’ve built a waste management model designed around you - fast, flexible, and completely frustration-free.

When it comes to keeping your business clean, compliant and clutter-free, the type of waste collection you choose makes all the difference.

At Marshalls , we help Norfolk businesses find the perfect fit. And one of the biggest questions we get asked is this: “Should I use wheelie bins or wast

We’ve built a better way to do commercial waste - one that’s fast, flexible, and actually works for businesses like yours.
