Best for: business collections under the council contract

Veolia Telford Commercial Waste Depot in short

Veolia Telford is the borough's contracted recycling and waste operator from its Hortonwood depot, running kerbside collections, both household recycling centres and the bulky waste service. The council page publishes a commercial waste price structure with a Telford phone, email and quote route. If you want the council's own contractor for business waste, this review finds it the direct route.

Customers rate the Veolia depot weakly, with under four stars on Google across a modest set of reviews, which trails the household names above it. Waste registration as a carrier, broker and dealer is on record from the Environment Agency register. What counts against it is fit: a commercial depot counter rather than a household service, with no published insurance detail.

Questions about Veolia Telford Commercial Waste Depot

Is Veolia Telford any good?

On the evidence, yes for business collections: it sits eighth in our Telford recycling table as the borough's contracted operator, with a published commercial price structure and a quote route. It suits firms wanting the council's own contractor. Ask for a quote on your streams and rhythms.

Is Veolia a registered waste carrier?

Yes. It holds upper-tier registration as a carrier, broker and dealer on the Environment Agency register. Ask for the registration number with your enquiry and check it yourself on the public register. Get the match in writing before any contract is signed.

What does Veolia charge?

The council page links a commercial waste price structure for the current year with a Telford phone, email and quote route, which makes it the most open on money in the business group. That still leaves your streams to price: list every one before they quote. Ask for the total fixed in writing.

Where does Veolia work?

The depot sits at Hortonwood in Telford, running kerbside collections, both recycling centres and the bulky service across the borough. Commercial rounds follow the same patch. Send your business address to confirm the round covers you. Ask which days your street or estate is served.

How is Veolia ranked?

It ranks eighth of the nine recycling services in our September round, picked for business collections under the council contract. It is a commercial counter rather than a household service, and its depot feedback trails the table. Read the full review, then ask for the quote.
