Combine suitable everyday recyclables
Workplaces and hospitality premises often produce clean paper, cardboard, cans and plastic packaging throughout the day. We collect suitable materials together through a dry mixed recycling stream in London, reducing the need for a separate container for every item type. Food waste, liquids, glass and residual rubbish must remain outside this stream. Clear signs and simple staff guidance can make separation easier at desks, shared kitchens and service areas. We assess what your business discards, how quickly containers fill, and how much storage is available before planning collection frequency.
Reduce contamination before collection
Recycling becomes harder to handle when food residue or liquid is left in otherwise suitable packaging. Emptying items and keeping the stream dry helps protect the material collected. We can coordinate mixed recycling with separate food, glass and general waste rounds, giving each waste type a clear route. The right container capacity and schedule depend on staff numbers, trading patterns and output between collections. Our quote also reflects access, timing and route requirements, while effective separation supports lower-impact waste handling.
Frequently asked questions
What can go into dry mixed recycling?
Suitable clean materials can include paper, cardboard, cans, and plastic packaging. The exact mix depends on what your premises produce, so describe the items when enquiring and keep unrelated waste out.
Can food containers be placed in the recycling stream?
Only suitable packaging that has been emptied of food and liquids should enter the stream. Food residue can contaminate other material, so food waste itself must remain in a separate collection arrangement.
Does glass belong with dry mixed recycling?
No. We arrange glass as a separate collection stream. Keeping bottles and containers away from lighter mixed recyclables supports safer handling and gives commercial glass its own route for recycling.
