Simplifying Simpler Recycling

Simpler Recycling legislation is 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 non-recyclable waste need to be separated from glass waste and placed into the right waste bins.

 We can handle your Simpler Recycling for you. You can select the waste types you need us to collect when getting an online quote, and we’ll do the rest.

Why is glass recycling important?


Glass is infinitely recyclable, meaning it can be reused multiple times without degrading. Recycling glass is essential for sustainability, and choosing recycling over landfill disposal can reduce disposal costs and contribute to a zero-waste, circular economy.
