Multi-Site Waste Collection for Utopi: 7 Sites, 5 Cities, One Agreement
Case study. How Kruze collected radiator and cardboard waste for Utopi across London, Sheffield, Birmingham, Reading and Leeds between August and September 2026, under one rolling agreement and one price per item.
The short version
Utopi is a building performance technology company based in Glasgow. Its works in large residential buildings produce radiator and cardboard waste in cities a long way apart. Kruze collects it under a single rolling agreement signed in August 2026.

The problem with multi-site waste
A project team fitting out buildings in five cities does not want five waste contractors, five sets of terms and five ways of counting. It also does not want a skip sitting outside a city centre building for a fortnight, or a pile building up in a corridor while the work is still going on.
What Utopi needed was simple to say and awkward to deliver: one supplier, one way of pricing, a collection that fits each building’s dates, and paperwork its own team can check against the invoice.
How we set it up
One agreement, sites added as they come. The agreement is rolling. It does not list a fixed set of buildings. A new site is added in writing at any time, without a new contract. Three more sites were added in September that way.
A price per item, not per load. Each site is quoted as a rate per item collected, with an estimated count. The rate reflects the location, parking, loading and lift access. Utopi pays for what is actually collected. There is no deposit, no mobilisation fee and no standing charge.
Collections staged to the size of the building. A small site gets one collection on the last day of works. A large one gets staged collections through the works, so waste never builds up on site.
Counts that reconcile. Every collection has a waste transfer note showing the site, date, waste type, quantity and where it went. If the count differs from the estimate, the difference is shown as its own line. Nothing is reissued and nothing is rounded away.
A purchase order per site. Each site carries its own PO number on its invoice, so Utopi’s finance team can match one invoice to one site.
What happened on the ground
Between 27 August and 29 September 2026 our crews completed collections at seven sites: two in London, two in Sheffield, and one each in Birmingham, Reading and Leeds. The largest site ran over three days. The smallest took a single visit.
All waste went to licensed facilities. Cardboard is routed to recycling wherever the facility and the condition of the material allow.
What a multi-site client should ask any waste carrier
Is the carrier licensed, and can I check it? Kruze is registered with the Environment Agency as a waste carrier, number CBDU597687. Anyone can check that on the public register in two minutes.
Will I get a waste transfer note for every collection? You should, and it should state the quantity and the destination. It is your proof that you met your duty of care.
How is the price set, and what happens if the count is wrong? Ask for a rate per item or per load in writing, and ask how differences are handled before the first collection, not after the first invoice.
Can sites be added without starting again? If every new building means a new contract, the arrangement will not survive a busy quarter.
