Commercial waste

Forthbank can accept some types of commercial waste. A prepayment system is in operation and must be used on every occasion. Please consult the Commercial Waste Charges page for more information.

The council is bound by national laws about accepting waste from commercial customers.

If you transport controlled waste within the UK in the course of your business, you must register with the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA).

Compost

Please note that supplies of compost are no longer available at the site. This follows a change in the  arrangements between Stirling Council, who previously provided the compost, and their new processing contractor.
