Charges for recycling collections or treatment should in general be levied on the commercial sector on the same basis as normal refuse collection or disposal, but with the benefit of no landfill tax payment being applied to the charge.

At Waste Disposal Sites and Civic Amenity/Recycling Sites, use by the commercial sector (if permitted by the license conditions) should only be allowed in return for the payment of the appropriate rate, equivalent to the disposal charge excluding landfill tax. A pre-paid punch card system is available. There are some exceptions to this e.g. commercial wood from Council operated island waste disposal sites, where high haulage costs are incurred and an appropriate charge is levied to cover this.
