Waste Disposal for Nurseries North West
Safe, compliant and affordable offensive waste disposal for nurseries, pre-schools and childminders across the North West – including Manchester, Liverpool, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Trafford, Wigan, Preston, Warrington and Cheshire.
At BWSL, we are an **independent waste broker** – we tender your nursery's offensive waste volumes to vetted, Environment Agency-licensed partners to secure the **lowest legal price**. Most North West nurseries save **15–30 %** while receiving free tiger bags, full waste transfer notes, and one simple monthly invoice.
We specialise in tiger bag collections for nappies, wipes, sanitary products and other hygiene waste – helping nurseries stay compliant with EA regulations without the hassle.
Offensive waste (also called hygiene or tiger bag waste) is non-infectious but potentially unpleasant waste that requires secure disposal under UK regulations (HTM 07-01 and Environment Agency guidance). For nurseries and childminders, this typically includes:
Used nappies and diapers
Nappy wipes and changing pads
Sanitary products from staff or older children
Vomit or bodily fluid clean-up materials (non-infectious)
Tissues, paper towels and gloves from hygiene areas
Offensive waste is **not clinical** (no blood, dressings or sharps) and **must not** go in general waste bins – improper disposal risks infection spread, Ofsted/CQC non-compliance, and Environment Agency fines up to £50,000.
Tiger bags are striped (black and yellow) and UN-approved for secure, leak-proof disposal – never use yellow bags for nappies.
What is Offensive Waste for Nurseries?
Why Nurseries in the North West Need Offensive Waste Collections?
Nurseries produce significant hygiene waste daily – from changing 10–50 nappies per room to staff sanitary needs. With Ofsted inspections focusing on hygiene and safety, compliant disposal is essential.
Common issues for Manchester and North West nurseries:
Overpaying for general waste bins that can't handle hygiene volumes
Odour and infection risks from improper storage
Admin burden from multiple suppliers
Missed recycling targets
BWSL fixes this with tailored tiger bag collections – compliant, affordable, and simple.
