Choose 360 Waste Management if

  • Your sites are spread across Kent, Essex, Hertfordshire and London and you want one supplier arranging them.
  • You want bins supplied free regardless of quantity, including a 120 litre size.
  • You need confidential waste, balers or compactors on the same account.
  • You want a free waste review of your current invoices before you switch.

Choose Capital Recycle if

If you want a collection that turns up on the day it is booked, and a team you can reach when something needs sorting, choose Capital Recycle.
  • You want the collection run by the company you signed with: our own caged tippers and our own sack stock, and a call to 0207 101 4003 reaches the person who runs your round.
  • You have one London site, or a few, with sacks or one to four bins.
  • You want to start this week, with the containers actually on site: sacks from our own stock within 24 to 48 hours, bins delivered on the agreed start date, and a damaged bin swapped like for like on 24 hours' notice.
  • You want the bin price to be the whole price: one fixed monthly figure, no rental line, no levy, no fuel surcharge, so there is no lift count on the invoice to argue over.
  • You want the notice terms in front of you before you sign, not discovered on the way out: 12 months, 60 days' notice before the renewal date, and a reminder from us 90 days before it.
  • You want us to issue and renew the Waste Transfer Note, so the paperwork a landlord or auditor asks for is already there.

How switching works

  1. Check the notice window on your current agreement first. The window, not the new supplier, decides when you can move.
  2. Tell us your postcode, the containers you use and your weekly volume. We confirm a start date within 24 to 48 hours.
  3. We deliver sacks or bins on the agreed date. If you are moving from bins, the new bins go in as the old ones go out; there is no period with two sets on site.
  4. We issue the Waste Transfer Note for each stream at the start, then renew it annually.

Common questions

What are 360 Waste Management's notice terms?

Not published on its site, as read on 5 November 2026; its pages use the heading "Contract Freedom" without a term, notice or exit condition, and its terms cover website use only. Ask for the agreement in writing and read the term, renewal and notice clauses before you sign, with any supplier.

Does 360 Waste Management run its own collections?

Its pages describe work across Kent, London, Essex and Hertfordshire and nationwide through "a network of providers", and name no fleet of its own. Ask them who will collect from your site. We collect on our own caged tippers.

Sacks or bins?

Sacks suit a site with no storage and a small daily volume. Bins suit a site with a bin store and steady volume. Our guide on bags or bins for commercial waste covers the trade-offs.

Do you cover my postcode?

Central London and the WD postcodes. Call 0207 101 4003 with your postcode and we will tell you straight away.

How long is your agreement?

12 months as standard, renewing unless you give 60 days' notice before the renewal date, or rolling monthly at a higher rate. You see the agreement before you sign.

Who do I call if a collection is missed?

0207 101 4003. You speak to the person who runs the round.
