Kit built for a moving-traffic environment
Waste and refuse crews spend the whole shift on or near live roads, working around a reversing vehicle, and handling bins, sacks and street waste in all weather. Visibility and durability are not extras here, they are the job.
Visibility
Hi-vis to the class your risk assessment sets, with reflective bands that stay visible on early starts and dark winter rounds.
Weather and grime
Waterproof outer layers and hard-wearing trousers that cope with being wet, dirty and handled all shift, wash after wash.
Comfort over a long round
Freedom of movement for lifting and walking a round, and layering options for cold starts through to warm afternoons.
The refuse and waste crew kit list
What most waste management operators and council contractors order. Specify visibility class and any protective footwear against your own risk assessment.
Hi-vis jackets and vests
Class 2 or 3 depending on the road environment and your assessment. See our hi-vis regulations guide.
Waterproof outer layers
A genuine waterproof for wet rounds, not a shower-resistant jacket that fails by mid-shift. See waterproof ratings explained.
Work trousers
Hard-wearing, with knee-pad pockets where crews are on and off the vehicle all day. See work trousers.
Coveralls and boiler suits
An alternative to separates for crews who want one garment for the whole shift. Coveralls vs boiler suits compared.
Safety footwear
Boots suited to wet, uneven kerbside and yard conditions. See safety boots.
Gloves
Grip and cut protection for handling bins, bags and street waste. See glove safety ratings.
Winter and summer layers

Branded polos and t-shirts
For depot staff, supervisors and customer-facing roles. See branded polos and t-shirts.
Branding for council contracts and private operators
Whether you are running a council waste contract or a private commercial collection round, a consistently branded crew reads as professional to residents and to the client awarding the contract.
Contract-ready branding
Your logo and any required contract branding placed consistently across jackets, hi-vis and polos. See our logo placement guide.
Easy to reorder
Set up a trade account and reorder for new starters or replacement kit without re-quoting from scratch each time.

Common questions
Can you match hi-vis to our own risk assessment class?
Yes. Tell us the class (2 or 3) your assessment specifies and we will match products to it. We do not set the specification, as that depends on your operating environment.
Do you supply council-contract branding as well as our own logo?
Yes, we can place your logo, contract branding, or both, laid out consistently across the crew.
Can a small collection round order from you?
Yes, there is no minimum order, so a two-vehicle operation gets the same branding and pricing structure as a large contractor.
How do you handle reordering for new starters?
Ask our sales team to set up a trade account on your first order. After that, reordering matching kit for a new starter is quick.
How quickly can we get kitted out?
Stock items dispatch next day. Branded items follow once you have approved the logo proof.
