Waste-a-base: a trading post for waste producers and receivers


A new service has launched with the aim of helping both waste producers and receivers to find matches. It's kind of like an online dating service, but where you find the perfect match for your demolition waste product rather than yourself.

It's called Waste-a-base and promises to promote fair market pricing by allowing waste companies to trade directly. At the same time, their database includes companies that can deal with all different types of waste including permitted and exempt waste disposal facilities.

Here's how it works:

Waste details are posted by the Waste Producer with a quotation period specified via their own home page, which allows them to track and manage projects, exchange key documents, access site audits, message receiving sites and more. Waste Receivers are then notified and given the opportunity to quote within the specified period. Waste-a-base will calculate a standard haulage cost and rank the receiving sites, giving the cheapest quote to the producer. If acceptable, the Waste Producer can then contract directly with the waste receiving site with an additional option for haulage.



Joe Jackson, Director of Waste-a-base, explains:

It is important for us as market leaders to drive quality standards within the waste industry by encouraging best practice in compliance and the sustainable disposal or recovery of waste. Our customers can be confident that they will receive a trustworthy, secure service, which allows them to compare the waste market efficiently and trade directly in a responsible way.
