What will I need to recycle?
You will need to recycle the following materials: » Food waste - This can be; food leftovers, tea bags, waste generated by preparing food (of any volume, including if the workplace does not serve food or have a canteen) » Paper and card - Such as old newspapers, envelopes, delivery boxes and packaging » Plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays, and cartons - Such as rinsed empty food containers and bottles » Metal tins and cans, foil and empty aerosols » Glass bottles and jars » Plastic films (from 2027) The new legislation in England requires waste and recycling to be separated: 1. Food waste: Must be collected separately from other waste. 2. Dry mixed recycling: Includes paper, cardboard, plastics, metals, and glass – your waste provider may collect these separately. 3. General waste: Includes non-recyclable waste. Speak with your waste collector to find out how they can assist you. If your business employs fewer than 10 full time staff, the deadline for implementation will be 31st March, 2027, but it’s a good idea to take the opportunity to comply early – giving you one less thing to worry about!
