Veolia Telford Commercial Waste Depot in short

Veolia Telford Commercial Waste Depot is the Hortonwood branch of the national Veolia waste business, advertising hazardous waste collection for batteries, medical waste and toxic substances by trained professionals. What sets the depot apart in our view is scale: national backing with a Telford yard, behind a parent company record reaching back over three decades. Its Environment Agency carrier, broker and dealer registration is current.

Customer reviews of Veolia Telford Commercial Waste Depot sit below four out of five on Google across a modest set, the softest depot-level headline in this table, with no other review source on record. Our view is that it suits Telford businesses wanting hazardous and commercial waste collected at scale. What counts against it: that depot rating and no published prices, leaving the written quote to do the persuading.

Questions about Veolia Telford Commercial Waste Depot

Is the Veolia Telford depot any good?

On the evidence, it suits business collections at scale rather than households: it sits eighth in our Telford hazardous waste table, with a national operator and a long company record behind the Hortonwood yard [1] [2]. The depot's own Google headline is the softest in the table and no prices are published [4]. Read the full review, then pin the quote down in writing.

Is Veolia a registered waste carrier?

Yes. Upper-tier Environment Agency registration as a carrier, broker and dealer is listed on the public register for VEOLIA ES (UK) LIMITED, and it is current [3]. The company itself is active on the Companies House record [2]. Check the registration number and expiry on the register yourself before booking.

What does the Veolia depot charge?

It publishes no prices, rates or VAT position; the site offers quote and instant-quote routes for business collections instead [1]. Send the waste streams, the volumes and the collection frequency. Ask for the full schedule of charges in writing before you agree anything.

Where does the Veolia depot work?

It works from Hortonwood 60 in Telford, serving Telford businesses with commercial and hazardous collections [1]. Send your business postcode with the waste list to confirm you are covered. Say how often you need collecting. Ask for the collection-day pattern in the same message.
