Smarter waste brokerage, not just cheaper bins.
Launched in 2021, OWL (Outsourced Waste Limited) is the waste brokerage arm of Purchase Direct. We manage waste services for over 800 sites across the UK and typically save customers over 40% on their waste costs.
Most waste providers and brokers just compare prices on a like-for-like basis. That’s fine if you want to swap out one general waste bin for another, but it doesn’t improve the setup. OWL goes further. We review what’s in place, identify what should be there instead and recommend a setup that actually suits your operation – cutting cost, carbon emissions and complexity.
What you get with OWL
- Cost reduction
We regularly save businesses over 40% of waste costs by improving their setup. That might mean adjusting collection frequency, changing container types, or rethinking the number of waste streams on site. - Waste admin and support
We handle the admin. That includes support with collections, service changes, wasted journey disputes and invoice queries. Over the last 12-months, we have successfully pushed back on over 95% of wasted journey charges. - Site audits
We offer site audits to review what waste streams are needed at each location and how services are scheduled. This helps reduce costs and improve compliance and environmental performance. - Transparent pricing
Our charging model is simple and clear. You know exactly what you’re paying for and what value you’re getting back. - No long tie-ins
All services run on 30 days’ notice. No long contracts.
We don’t just broker bins – we help you run a more efficient, compliant and lower-cost waste service.
Don’t just take our word for it
“Purchase Direct review a number of costs within our business. One of the most notable savings is the 30% reduction on our general waste services, achieved by moving over to OWL (their Waste Brokerage offering).The saving was achieved through improved prices per lift, better management of bin types and quantities on site, removal of charges for wasted journeys and improved recycling, which also makes us a greener organisation. Their full waste management service means all our queries and issues are handled by their waste specialists, giving us confidence that we have the optimum waste solution across the business.”
