Commercial recycling collection
Looking for an easier way to manage your commercial dry mixed recycling? Everflow can help.
Commercial waste recycling
New Simpler Recycling legislation means businesses now need to separate recyclable waste from general waste. First introduced on 31st March 2025, Simpler Recycling applies to organisations with more than 10 employees, with the same requirements set to extend to micro-businesses (under 10 employees) from March 2027. If you are yet to take your commercial recycling responsibilities seriously, now is the time to get compliant and avoid any unnecessary disruptions or potential penalties.
At Everflow, we make commercial recycling straightforward, providing reliable dry mixed recycling collections for businesses of every size. Whether you need weekly collections or a tailored service for multiple sites, we’ll help you meet the new requirements with minimal effort.

Frequently asked questions
What is commercial dry mixed recycling?
- Paper – office paper, newspapers, magazines, leaflets.
- Cardboard – boxes, packaging and cartons (flattened where possible).
- Plastic – bottles, pots, tubs, trays and clean food packaging.
- Metal – aluminium cans, steel tins, empty aerosols and foil.
- Glass (where accepted by the waste provider) – bottles and jars.
What can’t go into dry mixed recycling?
The following items should generally NOT go into a commercial dry mixed recycling bin:
- Food waste
- Liquids
- Plastic film and soft plastics (unless specifically accepted)
- Polystyrene
- Disposable coffee cups (unless accepted by your provider)
- Textiles
- Batteries
- Electrical items (WEEE)
- Hazardous waste
Keeping these materials out of your commercial recycling bin helps prevent contamination, which can result in recyclable waste being rejected.
Is commercial cardboard recycling included?
Yes. Cardboard can be collected as part of a dry mixed recycling bin. However, if you accumulate large quantities of cardboard packaging within your business, you may prefer to order a dedicated commercial cardboard recycling bin to collect this material exclusively.
Can paper be recycled through dry mixed recycling?
Similarly, paper does constitute dry mixed recycling but many organisations elect to collect this material in isolation where they produce large quantities of waste paper.
