Trust EWC with your commercial waste collection in St Helens
After working in the waste collection industry for over 30 years, we’ve discovered that many commercial waste companies simply empty bins. At Environmental Waste Controls, we do much more. Our St Helens waste collection service involves everything around the bin, including supplying compactors and balers to suit your site.
We collect and process a wide range of materials at our own licensed MRF, and we report on every tonne of waste produced through our online system. Plus, if anything breaks, we have mobile engineers who can respond to your site within 48 hours.
That means one phone number, one contract, and one bill for a complete commercial waste collection service.
St Helens business waste management services
All our commercial waste customers receive the same six-part service tailored to the size, sector and waste profile of their site. The same applies to your St Helens business.
Here’s what our waste management service entails:
- Equipment – We size balers, compactors, and hook-lift vehicles to your site. They’re all available for rental or purchase, new or refurbished.
- Staffing – You’ll receive trained operators if you need them. They can operate compaction equipment and manage on-site waste flow.
- Recycling – EWC handles all recyclable materials. They’re sorted and processed at our licensed MRF, maximising your recycling rate.
- Haulage – We have our own fleet of vehicles, including new hook-lift trucks. We will never use third-party hauliers, so you can rest assured that there will be no missed collections.
- Disposal – We work to ensure compliant, traceable disposal of all waste collected, from hazardous waste to food waste. Full waste transfer documentation is also included as standard.
- Online reporting – We produce a digital dashboard that shows all your waste output and where it went.

- Healthcare – Traceable, compliant waste management for hospitals, health centres and care providers.
- Construction – Hook-lift containers and segregated collections for industrial developments, housing schemes and refurbishments.
Audit to live service in four steps
We prioritise a quick and efficient process. There is no drawn-out process and no vague or hidden pricing. Here’s how it works:
- Free site survey – We start by visiting your site, walking through your waste flow, and identifying the equipment and collection frequency your business needs.
- Bespoke quote – We’ll give you a clear quote that includes equipment, collections, reporting, and costs. Plus, there are zero hidden charges.
- Equipment install – If you need new equipment, we’ll deliver and install it, then train your team on how to use it safely.
- Ongoing support – You’ll be assigned a dedicated account manager who handles everything, including reporting and arranging mobile engineers, if required.
Try our waste collection services in St Helens
As well as collecting your waste, we can supply balers and compactors that handle a massive amount of waste. Upon collection, we take it all to the correct recycling centre. For larger sites, a compactor holds the equivalent of 40 x 1100L bins, which cuts the number of collections you would need.
What does this mean? Fewer vehicles on site, a cleaner yard, lower costs, and control over waste collection.
Why choose us as your waste management company?
Many of our competitors nationwide run franchised collection networks, but we operate our own MRF, our own fleet, and a single-team service from Knowsley. This means we can easily reach you in St Helens.
Four reasons why you should choose us:
- Our own MRF – Most waste companies subcontract recycling to third parties. We operate our own Materials Recovery Facility, so all your recyclables stay with us.
- Our own fleet – We own our vehicles, which means no franchise networks, no agency drivers, and no missed collections. Our investment in new hook-lift vehicles means capacity for growth, too.
- One account manager – We will assign you a named contact who knows your site. This means that whenever you call us, the person who answers your phone call is the person running the contract. You’ll get quicker answers than you would with any of our competitors.
- 30+ years of experience – Founded in 1993, EWC has been running commercial waste contracts longer than many of our competitors have even existed. We have some customers that have been with us for nearly two decades, so you can trust us.
