About BWSL – North West's Independent Waste Broker.
At BWSL, we're more than a waste service—we're your strategic partner in making waste management simpler, cheaper, and more sustainable for businesses across the North West. From Manchester to Liverpool, Bolton to Bury, we help GP surgeries, dental practices, care homes, tattoo studios, offices, and factories handle everything from clinical collections to confidential shredding with zero hassle.
Founded on the belief that waste shouldn't be a headache, BWSL was built by industry experts who saw how traditional hauliers overcharge for basic compliance. As an independent waste broker, we don't own trucks or bins—we shop your needs to the best licensed carriers for unbeatable rates, one invoice, and full duty-of-care paperwork. No tie-ins, no surprises, just real savings and peace of mind.
What We Do: Brokering Smarter Waste Solutions
Unlike direct providers who lock you into their rates and routes, BWSL operates as your middleman expert. We tender your waste volumes (clinical yellow bags, tiger stripe offensive, locked shredding consoles, cardboard cages—you name it) to a network of vetted, Environment Agency-registered partners. This means:
Tailored Matching: We pair your business with the right carrier based on volume, location, and waste type—e.g., a Liverpool GP surgery gets a local ADR specialist for sharps, while a Stockport factory gets rebate-paying cardboard recyclers.
End-to-End Handling: From free bin delivery to collection, weighing, transfer notes/consignment notes, and final disposal/recovery—we coordinate it all.
Multiple Streams Under One Roof: Clinical, offensive, hazardous, general, recycling, and shredding—bundled for 15–30% extra savings vs. juggling suppliers.
Our broker model cuts out fleet overheads, passing discounts straight to you. In 2025, with rising fuel costs and EA regs, that's more important than ever.
How We Help Businesses: Savings, Compliance, and Simplicity
We know waste is a cost-centre that eats time and budget. That's why everything we do focuses on three pillars: cost reduction, compliance assurance, and operational ease. Here's how we deliver:
Cost Reduction – Beat Your Current Supplier
15–30% Average Savings: By tendering to multiple carriers, we secure rates lower than direct hauliers (e.g., £28/240L clinical lift vs. £35–£42 elsewhere).
Free Bins & No Rentals: Wheelies, consoles, cages supplied at zero cost—no hidden £5–£10/month fees.
Rebates for Recyclables: High-volume cardboard or paper? Get paid up to £90/tonne.
Bundled Discounts: Switch clinical + shredding + general? Save an extra 10–15% on combined services.
Compliance Assurance – Stay EA & GDPR-Safe
Full Paperwork Included: Waste Transfer Notes (WTN) or Hazardous Consignment Notes (HWCN) every lift—no extra "annual certificate" charges (£80–£150 upsell scam).
Vetted Partners Only: All carriers Upper Tier registered, ADR-licensed for hazardous, BS EN 15713 for shredding—copies available on request.
Free Audits: Initial site review spots overpayments or non-compliance (e.g., wrong bin sizes costing £200+/year).
Quarterly Reports: Track your diversion rates, emissions savings, and CQC-ready docs.
Operational Ease – One Call, Zero Stress
Single Point of Contact: One invoice, one account manager—no chasing three suppliers.
Flexible Scheduling: Weekly to ad-hoc, emergency same-day available.
24/7 Support: Phone/email for issues, instant backups if a carrier delays.
JAN25 Offer: Switch before Jan 31 for your first lift free (up to £48 value).
