What is dry mixed recycling?
Dry mixed recycling (DMR) is an approach to waste management where dry, uncontaminated, recyclable materials are collected in a single bin or container, focusing on dry mixed recycling disposal. This ensures that businesses can easily dispose of clean and uncontaminated recyclable materials, even in smaller spaces. This approach keeps dry waste materials separate from non-recyclable waste to prevent contamination, offering a sustainable alternative to general waste disposal. This contrasts with typical recycling processes, which require companies to separate their recyclable waste into different bins, requiring a number of dedicated bins which can take up more space.
The key advantage of dry mixed recycling is its ease of use, eliminating the need for separate containers for each material type. By streamlining the recycling process, dry mixed recycling not only aids businesses in their sustainability goals but also significantly reduces the volume of waste sent to landfills, thereby positively impacting the environment.
Dry mixed recycling bin collection
Our dry mixed recycling collection service simplifies the waste management process by allowing you to consolidate all dry recyclable waste into a single dry mixed recycling bin. This is known as single-stream recycling and can save a lot of time because you don’t have to separate recyclable materials into different bins and containers.
We supply dry mixed recycling bins designed to meet your business needs. These bins are available in various sizes to handle different amounts of recyclable material and provide dedicated containers for efficient collection and disposal. You’ll also have the flexibility to choose collection schedules that align with your business operations, with our team ensuring that the process causes minimal disruption by arranging regular pickups tailored to your specific requirements.
After your recyclables are collected, they’re taken to a recycling facility, where they undergo sorting, processing, and preparation for being recycled into new products. This crucial step closes the recycling loop and supports a circular economy.
What is included in dry mixed recycling?
Dry Mixed Recycling encompasses a variety of materials that can be recycled without the need for separation or special treatment. This method is designed to collect non-contaminated, clean, recyclable materials. The most common items that can be placed into a DMR bin include:
Once collected, these materials undergo processes like shredding, melting, or pulping to transform them into raw materials for manufacturing new products. This reduces the need for virgin materials and conserves valuable resources.
Dry mixed recycling contamination
It is crucial for businesses participating in a Dry Mixed Recycling program to exclude any items that are contaminated with food, liquid, or hazardous materials, as these can interfere with the recycling process and potentially contaminate the whole batch of recyclable materials. By adhering to these guidelines and improving waste disposal practices through effective segregation, companies can significantly contribute to the efficiency of recycling operations and the effectiveness of their sustainability efforts.
