02nd October 2026, Pallets and waste bins

Hi all,

Just a quick reminder regarding the disposal of pallets on site.

Please do not place pallets inside the waste bins. Pallets create a safety issue when the bins are being unloaded and also take up a significant amount of space due to the amount of negative space around them.

As we are charged per bin rather than by the amount of waste inside the bin, a half-full bin containing pallets costs the same as a full bin. This means we are unnecessarily losing bin capacity and increasing the number of bins required on site.

There is also a significant amount of time spent removing pallets from the bins and then stacking them beside the bins so they can be collected. This takes time away from the site team and creates additional handling of the pallets that can easily be avoided.

Could you please remind all workers and subcontractors that:

All pallets are to be stacked neatly beside the waste bins.

Pallets are not to be placed inside the bins.

Once pallets are stacked beside the bin, please contact the dogman or site supervisor and we will arrange for them to be removed.

We appreciate everyone's help with this. Keeping the pallets separate will make the bin area safer, reduce unnecessary handling and help us get the most out of each waste bin.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Regards,
Paddy
