Simplifying Simpler Recycling
With Simpler Recycling legislation now in place for most businesses (and set to apply to micro-firms with less than 10 employees by 2027), there are strict rules around how your waste should be handled. Dry mixed recycling (DMR), food and glass waste need to be separated from general waste and placed into the right waste bins.
We will supply a range of bins and sizes for all your business waste - ensuring the maximum amount of materials from your waste is recycled.

Frequently asked questions
-
How do I choose the right wheelie bin for my business?
The right wheelie bin, and how many, depends on the volume and type of waste your business produces, as well as the storage space you have available. It will also depend upon the collection frequency you need. Our size guide listed above can help you compare options. Our general wheelie bins are made solely for non-recyclable waste. If you’re unsure of the best bin for your business, don’t hesitate to contact our team for advice.
-
How should I store my general wheelie bins?
Your general wheelie bins should be stored safely and securely off the street, ideally in a private space or side alley. Keeping your bins away from public walkways and roads prevents obstruction and ensures quick access on collection day. For best results, choose a well-ventilated location to help minimise odours.
-
What will happen to my general waste once collected?
Once we have collected your general, non-hazardous waste, it is transported to one of our specialist waste management sites. There, your waste is where possible, processed via an Energy-from-Waste facility to generate heat, electricity or fuel.
