Simpler Recycling rules take effect

The so-called Simpler Recycling rules require workplaces with ten or more employees to arrange for the collection of the following:

• dry recyclables such as plastic, metal, glass, paper and card
• food waste
• non-recyclable waste.

Note. You'll need to separate paper and card from other recyclables unless your waste contractor collects them together.

You'll have the freedom to decide on the size of container and frequency of collection based on how much waste your business produces. Work with your waste contractor here.

You will be required to separate your food waste, no matter how small the quantity generated. This is to prevent food waste going to landfill.
