Confidential Waste Collection in Greenwich

Royal Greenwich’s confidential paper comes from very different places. On Greenwich Peninsula, the Design District near The O2 is a cluster of 16 workspace buildings put up for creative firms. Woolwich, where the council has its main offices at the Woolwich Centre, is a former military and industrial town in the middle of major regeneration. Further south, Eltham and Blackheath have high streets full of smaller practices and agencies. The council is also checking how firms get rid of their waste: in July 2026 its officers visited 25 businesses on Plumstead High Street and served 18 of them with notices to prove lawful disposal. A collection from us leaves you with exactly that kind of evidence. We take sealed sacks and archive boxes, give you a waste transfer note for every collection and send a certificate of destruction once the documents have been destroyed. Collections can be arranged outside office hours if that suits your building.

Design, media and architecture studios

The Design District on Greenwich Peninsula was built as workspace for creative businesses. Pitch documents, client contracts and freelancer records pile up quickly in small studios with no storage room.

Student lettings and education services

The University of Greenwich occupies the Old Royal Naval College buildings and Ravensbourne University is on the Peninsula. Letting agents and tutoring firms around them hold tenancy files, ID copies and student details.

Pharmacies, clinics and care agencies

Woolwich is home to Queen Elizabeth Hospital on Stadium Road. Independent pharmacies, care agencies and private clinics across Woolwich and Plumstead keep paper prescriptions, care plans and client records.

Industrial and trade firms

Charlton Riverside and the West Thamesmead and Plumstead industrial area are strategic industrial locations, and the firms on them keep payroll, staff and customer files in their site offices.

Local know-how

Collecting in Greenwich

Three TfL red routes cross the borough: the A2 over Blackheath Hill, the South Circular (A205), and the A102 from the Blackwall Tunnel to Blackheath. On them a vehicle may stop only in marked bays and only for the time on the sign. On Greenwich Peninsula, ask your building management where a van can pull in, as many buildings set their own loading arrangements. The Woolwich Ferry links the North Circular to the South Circular, which matters if your business also has premises across the river. Tell us about gates, concierge desks or booking systems when you book, so the hand-over is quick.

Greenwich Council and Business Waste

Royal Greenwich’s business collection service covers general waste, dry recycling and food waste, and confidential waste is not part of it. In July 2026 the council served Section 34 notices on 18 of the 25 businesses it checked on Plumstead High Street.

A Section 34 notice asks you to prove that your business waste is handled lawfully, and the deadline is short: Royal Greenwich gave the Plumstead High Street businesses seven days in July 2026. Waste transfer notes from a registered carrier are the evidence. Our registration is CBDU527690, and every confidential collection comes with its own transfer note.

Yes. Keep the paper in a sealed sack or a taped box until you have enough to be worth a visit, then book a collection. If your building has a loading area or a concierge, tell us so we can arrange the hand-over with them.

No. The council’s sacks are for general waste, dry recycling and food waste, and confidential paper is not one of its streams. Documents with names, addresses or account details should be sealed and collected separately so you get a record of their destruction.

Yes. Box or bag the files you no longer need, seal them and tell us roughly how many there are. We collect them as a one-off, you sign the waste transfer note, and the certificate of destruction follows. Evening or weekend collections can be arranged if the move is tight.

We collect the paper side: old prescriptions, delivery records and patient correspondence. Clinical waste such as sharps or dressings is a separate regulated stream and needs a clinical waste carrier; the council also treats clinical business waste separately from its normal collections.

Please don’t. Waste left on the pavement is exactly what the council’s officers were checking for in 2026, and anyone passing could open a sack. Arrange a time when someone can hand the sacks over in person.
