Simpler recycling: workplace recycling in England
As of 31st March 2025, all workplaces (businesses, schools, hospitals etc.) with 10 or more full time equivalents (FTE) in England are required to recycle the following waste separately:
•Recyclable: Plastic, glass, metal, paper & card
•Food: Edible products
•Non-Recyclable: All other waste
Following recycling legislation helps reduce our organisation’s environmental impact, reduce our costs, and ensures we are compliant with the regulations. Therefore, we have implemented new waste practices to comply with this and it is important that you understand how to dispose of waste at work in the correct way – just as you would at home.
Failure to separate the materials or clean them properly before disposing could lead to our collectio being rejected, and the materials ending up in landfill or incineration.
