Commercial Dry Mixed Recycling
We’re committed to innovative, sustainable waste management practices that help your business and the environment. Our commercial dry mixed recycling (DMR) service makes recycling simple, cost-effective, and compliant with UK environmental standards and the Simpler Recycling Legislation. By focusing on resource recovery, we help businesses reduce waste-disposal costs, improve their bottom line, and contribute to a more sustainable future.
How Our Dry Mixed Recycling Service Works
Our dry mixed recycling service provides an efficient and transparent way to manage your recyclable waste. We handle everything from bin supply to collection and processing, providing visibility of schedules and compliance through our customer portal.
Dry Mixed Disposal
Any materials unsuitable for recycling are disposed of safely, in accordance with all relevant environmental regulations. By preventing contamination and improving sorting, we protect recycling efficiency and minimise environmental impact. All routes and reports are available in the customer portal for full traceability.
Dry Mixed Recycling
Once collected, your recyclables are transported to licensed recycling facilities. Here, materials such as paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, and metal cans are separated into distinct waste streams and processed for effective recycling. This closed-loop system turns recyclable items into new products, reducing reliance on landfill sites and conserving valuable resources.
Dry Mixed Collection
We supply a range of dry mixed recycling bins suitable for businesses of all sizes and tailor collections to your schedule and volumes. Each collection is logged and traceable, giving you complete confidence in your recycling data and compliance documentation. Our team will also work with you to develop the most efficient approach to your collections, saving you both time and money.
What Is Dry Mixed Recycling (DMR)?
DMR is a waste management approach that enables businesses to collect dry, uncontaminated recyclables in a single bin. Rather than separating each material type, you can place all clean recyclables together, saving time and space on-site. This method prevents contamination and keeps recyclable materials separate from general waste, ensuring everything can be recycled efficiently.
The key benefit of DMR is convenience. It reduces the need for multiple bins, cuts waste disposal costs, and helps businesses recycle more without adding complexity. It’s a sustainable and space-efficient alternative to general waste disposal, helping to divert all waste from landfill.
What Can Go in Dry Mixed Recycling Bins?
Dry mixed recycling includes a wide range of materials, such as:
- Paper (office paper, newspapers, magazines, brochures)
- Cardboard (boxes, cartons, and packaging)
- Plastics (bottles, containers, trays, and films that are clean and dry)
- Metals (aluminium cans, tin cans, foil, and similar items)
The main advantage of Dry Mixed Recycling is the simplified collection process, meaning that businesses can consolidate multiple waste streams into a single container – improving efficiency whilst also saving space on site.
Managing Contamination
To maintain recycling quality, it’s essential to keep food waste, liquids, and hazardous materials out of dry mixed recycling bins. Contamination can affect entire loads and make them unsuitable for recycling.
We help businesses train staff, label bins, and maintain clean recycling streams to keep their DMR collections efficient and compliant.
Making Compliance Simple
Our team’s expertise and the customer portal make compliance simple. Our dry mixed recycling service adheres to all UK waste management regulations and supports businesses under the Simpler Recycling legislation. Through our customer portal, you can track waste streams, download compliance certificates, and generate audit-ready reports in one place.
By integrating your DMR service with other waste management solutions, such as food waste or hazardous waste collections, you can simplify reporting, save money, and boost your reputation through sustainable waste management practices.
