Dry Mixed Recycling
WM101 help businesses simplify recycling processes, improve cost efficiency, and positively impact the environment through a wide range of dry mixed recycling bin solutions.
Our Dry Mixed Recycling Bin Solutions
Dry mixed recycling (DMR) has enormous benefits on the environment, minimising the amount of waste sent to landfills and incinerators and thus reducing CO2 emissions. Almost all businesses produce materials that can be recycled, making DMR one of the most important disposal practices in our waste.
At WM101, our dry mixed recycling bins are available in a variety of sizes to suit your waste output and space limitations. We also offer trusted guidance around relevant government legislation so you can understand your responsibilities and stay compliant.
Whether you need a one-off clearance or a regular schedule, we can arrange site-specific collections that maximise time and cost efficiency for your business. Once collected, your dry mixed recycling is taken to a reputable local facility where it is separated, processed, and made into something new.
What is Dry Mixed Recycling (DMR)?
As recycling becomes an increasing concern for businesses looking to implement more sustainable practices, dry mixed recycling (DMR) provides a simple and convenient way to recycle large amounts of waste without needing to separate different materials into multiple bins.
With a dry mixed recycling bin, any appropriate waste can be stored and collected in the same container – so long as they are recyclable, dry, and free from contaminants. These include:
- Paper (magazines, newspapers, receipts & other documents)
- Cardboard (boxes & food packaging)
- Metal (food trays, cans & foil)
- Plastic (containers, bottles & yoghurt pots)
What Can You NOT Put in A Dry Mixed Recycling Bin?
Other materials and substances can contaminate your dry mixed recycling waste, which may lead to it not being recycled at all. The following materials cannot be put in your mixed recycling bin:
- Food & liquids
- Glass & ceramics
- Polystyrene, wood cutoffs & textiles
- Sanitary waste (nappies, tissues & sanitary products)
- Hazardous waste (batteries, bleach bottles & paint tins)
- Unrecyclable plastics (coffee cups, cling film & plastic bags)
