Commercial waste collection across Aberdeen
Aberdeen’s commercial waste profile is unlike anywhere else in the UK. The energy sector still dominates, even with the gradual shift from oil and gas towards offshore wind and hydrogen, and that means a lot of operators producing industrial volumes alongside hazardous and regulated streams. Westhill is full of oil services firms with mixed office and workshop waste. The harbour handles port logistics waste, ship-side collections and the supply base activity that comes with it. The Energetica corridor running north towards Bridge of Don adds engineering and renewables tenants into the mix.
That makes Aberdeen difficult to quote uniformly. AB10 and AB11 in the city centre have the standard mix of office, retail and hospitality waste with a competitive supplier pool. AB12 down towards Altens and Tullos is heavier industrial and the carriers serving those estates are different again. AB15 covers the West End and Westhill side, where the energy services tenants sit, and AB21-AB23 takes you out towards Dyce, the airport and the Bridge of Don industrial area.
The Aberdeen LEZ in the city centre is now active and applies to all vehicle types. As in Glasgow and Edinburgh, that shrinks the supplier pool for collections inside the cordon. Most of the major carriers upgraded their fleets, but a few smaller operators stopped servicing central postcodes.

Waste collection services across Aberdeen
Aberdeen businesses need the standard general waste, mixed recycling and food waste, but the city’s industrial base means hazardous and specialist streams come up more often than in most UK cities of this size. Office tenants in the West End and city centre run on DMR and confidential shredding. Hospitality along Union Street and across the city centre needs food waste and glass collected frequently. The university precincts and the hospital generate clinical and laboratory waste in volume.
Beyond the standard streams, we arrange WEEE collections for the engineering and tech firms across the Energetica corridor, hazardous and chemical waste for the energy services workshops at Westhill and Altens, scrap metal collections for fabricators and the harbour-based suppliers, cooking oil for the restaurant trade, and skips and RoRos for the steady flow of fit-out and refurbishment work across the city.
Postcodes we cover in Aberdeen
We cover all Aberdeen postcodes, AB10 through AB25, plus the surrounding Aberdeenshire area. AB10-AB11 covers the city centre and West End. AB12 and AB24 take in the harbour, Torry, Altens and Tullos industrial estates. AB15-AB16 covers the western suburbs out towards Westhill. AB21-AB23 reaches Dyce, the airport and Bridge of Don.
Pricing context for Aberdeen businesses
Aberdeen pricing tends to sit slightly above the Scottish average for general commercial waste, partly because of distance from the major recycling and disposal sites further south, partly because of the LEZ requirement in the centre. Industrial volumes at Altens, Tullos and Westhill are often more competitive per tonne than the office and hospitality work in the city centre.
Aberdeen Low Emission Zone
Aberdeen’s Low Emission Zone is enforced in the city centre and applies to all vehicles, including refuse collection trucks. Carriers operating inside the cordon need Euro 6 diesel or equivalent. That has narrowed the supplier pool for central postcodes but most of the major operators upgraded their fleets.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which postcodes do you cover in Aberdeen?
All of them, AB10 through AB25, plus the surrounding Aberdeenshire towns. That covers the city centre, West End, harbour, Torry, the Altens and Tullos industrial estates, Westhill, Dyce, Bridge of Don and the residential and mixed-use suburbs in between.
- How quickly can a new contract start in Aberdeen?
Most Aberdeen suppliers can deliver bins within five to ten working days of a signed agreement. Inside the LEZ it can take a little longer because the compliant-fleet pool is smaller, but a week is usually realistic.
- Are Aberdeen businesses paying more than the surrounding area?
Generally yes, especially inside the LEZ and for the more remote postcodes where carriers have to factor in travel time. Aberdeen sits a fair distance from the major treatment and recycling sites further south.
- Do you cover specialist waste streams in Aberdeen?
Yes, and Aberdeen is one of the cities where this matters most. We arrange hazardous and chemical waste for the energy sector workshops, WEEE for the engineering and tech tenants, scrap metal for fabricators and the harbour suppliers, clinical waste for the hospital and clinic base, cooking oil for the restaurant trade.
- What if my business is just outside Aberdeen?
We cover Aberdeenshire including Inverurie, Westhill, Stonehaven, Ellon, Banchory and the surrounding towns and villages. Tell us your postcode and we’ll match you against carriers running rounds there.
