Waste and environmental management
Supporting healthy communities through clean streets and responsible waste management
Civic pride, delivered every day
Clean streets, healthier places
Clean streets are a visible sign of healthy, vibrant communities. Norse provides comprehensive waste collection and environmental services for both local authorities and commercial clients, helping thousands of households and businesses dispose of waste responsibility. From routine street cleansing to tailored commercial waste collection, and including the operation of Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) and Material Recycling Facilities (MRFs), our teams ensure communities are kept clean, safe, and environmentally responsible.
Reliable waste collection at scale
Norse manages domestic refuse collection for over one million residents, supported by our joint ventures including Amber Valley Norse, Medway Norse, NEWS, Norse South East, Rochford Norse, and West Northamptonshire Norse. Services include kerbside collection, garden and food waste, bulky items, and clinical waste, alongside recycling options that reduce landfill and cut greenhouse gas emissions. By combining operational expertise, flexible scheduling, and sustainability-led practices, we deliver efficient, compliant services that meet the needs of councils, businesses, and communities alike.
Flexible, responsive street cleansing
Street cleansing requires agility and local understanding. Our teams deliver mechanical sweeping, pressure washing, litter picking, graffiti removal, fly-tipping clearance, and maintenance of high-footfall areas including town centres, neighbourhoods, and public spaces. We adapt our services to meet site-specific requirements, ensuring thorough, professional, and efficient cleaning. By combining practical expertise with modern equipment and environmentally conscious practices, Norse provides a seamless service that protects public health, enhances community pride, and contributes to sustainable, well-maintained urban and rural environments.
