BUSINESS WASTE COLLECTION

What is dry mixed recycling?

Dry mixed recycling (also known as DMR) is a type of waste collection and processing system where clean recyclable materials of various types are collected together in a single wheelie bin or container. This may include paper, cardboard, plastics and metals. The recycling is then collected by a licensed waste carrier and transported to a recycling facility such as our Material Recovery Facility (MRF) in Hartlepool, or one of our transfer stations in Middlesbrough (South Tees) or Washington. DMR is a convenient, cost-effective and responsible method of recycling and is highly effective for businesses in all industries, from hospitality and education settings to construction and retail.

DMR WASTE COLLECTION

Can glass go into dry mixed recycling?

For household waste, glass should always be kept separate from dry mixed recycling to prevent contamination and in-line with the guidance from local authorities. Businesses that produce large quantities of glass, such as pubs and restaurants, should have a dedicated glass wheelie bin to separate their glass. For businesses that generate small amounts of glass, perhaps glass bottles and coffee jars used in the staffroom, we encourage these to be kept out of the general waste and are therefore able to collect them with the dry mixed recycling - although all lids should be removed from jars. Some waste collectors may not be able to manage glass in this way, but J&B Recycling’s advanced recovery systems enable us to safely separate the glass on-site for processing.

What are the benefits of dry mixed recycling?

Utilising dry mixed recycling helps businesses reduce both their environmental impact and the costs associated with waste disposal. Making recycling more efficient and boosting recycling rates helps reduce waste to landfill, cuts carbon emissions and promotes a circular economy and. Recycling is also more cost-effective than general waste disposal, helps businesses reach their sustainability goals and has the added benefit of rebate schemes and initiatives for waste streams meeting certain criteria.

DRY MIXED RECYCLING

Should you rinse recyclables?

When waste is contaminated, either by incorrect materials being placed in the recycling, or by the materials not being clean, the recycling process becomes inefficient, more labour-intensive and costly. To prevent waste contamination, all recyclables should be clean. This includes rinsing all food and drink containers. Any paper or cardboard containing grease or liquid, including pizza boxes, should not enter the dry mixed recycling process.
