Why you need to recycle?
From 6 April 2024, all workplaces must present the following materials separately for collection to be recycled .
How to better understand your waste and recycling
To understand the different types of waste your workplace produces, undertake a waste audit by walking through the different areas within your premises.
Preventing waste in the first place
Reducing or preventing how much waste you produce will help to save money and reduce the size of bins you will need.
How to comply with the new recycling law

How to arrange a new recycling service
If you need to organise a new recycling service, it’s worth thinking about the following:
Space for your bins?
It’s important that you consider where and how you will store your waste and recycling.
Food waste and hygiene
