The government has introduced new Simpler Recycling waste reforms to help ensure we can all recycle the same materials from home and whilst at work.
This means all businesses and organisations such as schools and hospitals must have separate food waste and recycling collections in place by the end of March 2025.
From March 2025 all businesses with 10 or more employees will have to arrange for the collection of the following:
- Cans and plastics
- Paper and cardboard
- Glass
- Food waste
If your business produces food waste collections, no matter how small the quantity, you must make arrangements for it to be recycled.
Businesses with fewer than 10 employees will have to comply with the legislation by March 2027. All businesses must also have recycling collections in place for plastic film by March 2027.
