Setting Up Waste Stations

Sell the benefits

Conduct a Site Survey

Identify optimal locations based on:
- Proximity to operational zones
- Clear access for loading/unloading
- Avoiding obstruction of assets, emergency routes, or drainage
- Ground condition (level, non-slippery, suitable for skip lorry weight)
Allow Turning Circles

Plan space for HGVs to turn and reverse safely without risk to fixed assets.
Use of Barriers

Install bollards or barriers where necessary to protect adjacent infrastructure.
