Business Recycling Disposal & Collection
Business recycling collection services can help organisations of all sizes separate, store and dispose of their recyclable materials in the correct, environmentally friendly way. As organisations across the UK increase their sustainability focus and efforts, including waste segregation, waste streams must be separated correctly in accordance with the most recent legislation, including Simpler Recycling.
At Waste Managed, we work with businesses and organisations across a wide range of sectors, providing bespoke commercial recycling services tailored to the amount of waste they generate and their business needs. All businesses have an obligation to ensure that their recyclable waste is collected, transported and processed in the correct, legal manner. Thanks to our nationwide supplier network, we can help organisations across the UK meet these legal requirements while making commercial recycling as straightforward as possible.
Commercial recycling comprises of the following waste streams:
- Plastic Recycling
Our Commercial Recycling Collection Process
Our commercial recycling collection process is designed to make recycling simple, efficient and cost-effective for businesses.
Step 1: Waste Assessment
The process begins with us reviewing the waste your business produces and how much of it is recyclable. Once we have an understanding of how much recyclable material is generated, we can help a business improve its recycling rates.
Step 2: Bin & Container Recommendations
Based on the amount of waste your business generates, we can recommend the most suitable bins and containers for your commercial recycling. This can include separate bins and containers for cardboard, plastics, paper, glass and other recyclable materials.
Step 3: Collection Schedule Setup
We can work with your business to arrange a bespoke recycling waste collection schedule that aligns with your operational needs and storage capacity, whether it is weekly or fortnightly.
Step 4: Collection & Transportation
Once a collection schedule has been agreed, we will connect you with a waste provider from our nationwide network of suppliers who will collect your recyclable waste and transport it to an approved processing facility.
Step 5: Recycling & Recovery
Materials are sorted, processed, and recycled into new products wherever possible, helping to reduce reliance on landfill and support a more circular economy.
The end of the process will see the recyclable materials processed and, where possible, recycled into new products, to reduce reliance on landfill and contribute to a more circular economy.
Throughout the entire disposal and collection process, our team remains available to review services and make adjustments as your recycling requirements evolve.
Commercial Recycling Types We Collect & Dispose Of
Most businesses and organisations generate a wide variety of recyclable materials that should be segregated from general waste. Some of the most common recycling types we help businesses manage include:
Cardboard and Paper Recycling
As expected, Cardboard and paper waste is one of the largest commercial streams of recyclable waste in the UK. This can range from office paper, brochures, packaging waste and other cardboard materials that are very common in industries such as retail, logistics and manufacturing.
Plastic Recycling
Many businesses generate recyclable plastics, including PET, HDPE, LDPE, and PP. To ensure these materials can be recycled successfully, they must be properly segregated from other waste types.
Glass Recycling
Glass bottles, jars, and other glass items are among the most recyclable materials available, which is why having a dedicated glass recycling service can help improve an organisation’s recycling rates.
Dry Mixed Recycling
Dry mixed recycling includes a whole range of recyclable materials including card and cardboard, paper, dry plastics as well as tin and aluminium packaging
Businesses that produce multiple waste streams often benefit from separate recycling containers for different materials, helping improve recycling rates and reduce contamination.
