Best trade waste company by a mile. We have been using Progressive waste for a while now, never miss a collection, always easy to contact. They provide a great friendly service, and if they say something they do it. Would definitely recommend them.

Progressive Waste are great at what they do. Everyone who works there is really friendly and David was great setting us up. We ran out of general waste bags so I text David and I had a fresh batch of bags delivered within a few hours. Customer service is absolutely amazing!

I’m involved in running an Edinburgh Fringe venue and we got in touch with Progressive at the last minute for help with waste collections after being let down with previous suppliers. … every collection that we booked happened, even during the peak of the festival … we will definitely be working with them again next year!
