Click Waste UK – Mixed Recycling
Dry Mixed Recycling – often called DMR – is one of the most popular services chosen by Click Waste UK customers as part of their service plan. It allows for the easy and convenient recycling of many waste products through one bin. A combined bin for all mixed recycling is a fantastic choice for businesses where space is restricted, and you may not have room for multiple containers on site.
What is mixed recycling?
Mixed recycling generally means that different materials can be combined in the same bin to be removed from your premises and taken away to be sorted at a Materials Recycling Facility. Mixed recycling usually allows for the following materials to be disposed of in the same container:
- Plastic bottles
- Plastic packaging
- Cardboard
- Paper and leaflets
- Metals – for example, drinks cans and tinned food
- Newspapers and magazines
When you look at the materials you throw away on a daily basis, the vast majority will have been described in this list. This simple to use service helps you to increase your overall recycling rate, reduces your carbon footprint and is significantly cheaper than throwing your waste away to be treated as general waste.
What can’t be put in mixed recycling?
To ensure the contents of dry mixed recycling bins can actually be sorted and recycled once collected, it’s essential to not only understand what you can recycle in them but what you can’t recycle as well. The following should not be added to your mixed recycling as they will contaminate the contents of the bin and prevent it from being recycled:
- Broken glass
- Food contaminated packaging
- Tissues, serviettes, hand towels and kitchen roll
- Polystyrene
- Waxed paper coffee cups
No matter the type of waste your business produces, Click Waste UK will have a solution for you – so even if you regularly produce waste consisting of the items listed above, we’ll have a suitable waste collection service that fits your needs.
