Dry Mixed Recycling Bins
Combine cardboard, paper, plastic, and metal in a dry mixed recycling bin for simple and sustainable waste management. We can provide a wide range of free dry mixed recycling bins for businesses across the UK with no delivery or hire charges – you only pay for collection, with daily, weekly or fortnightly services available depending on your location. These are available in various sizes, from 240L to 1100L, with flexible collection schedules.
We can help whether you just want a few small DMR bins for the office or need big, four-wheel mixed recycling bins that you can store outside your restaurant or shop. Tell us what materials you want to recycle and how much you produce, and we’ll confirm whether they can share a DMR bin or whether a separate single-stream recycling bin (such as for paper) would work better.
Comply with government laws and legislation around commercial recycling and save money with a DMR bin. Learn more about what you can put in one and explore some common DMR bins that meet your needs. Call 0800 211 8390 or contact us online today for a free no-obligation quote.

What can be put in a DMR bin?
Everything you put in a DMR bin must be clean, dry, and recyclable. You cannot use it to throw away any used tissues, napkins, or wet wipes – or items contaminated with food – as they can’t be recycled. Most DMR bins in workplaces are used for daily food packaging such as plastic bottles, aluminium cans, and cardboard boxes.
You can place the following items in a DMR bin:
- Cardboard – delivery boxes, cardboard packaging, empty cereal and tissue boxes
- Paper – newspapers and magazines, receipts, and any printed paper documents
- Plastic – accepted plastic bottles, pots, tubs, trays and other rigid containers
- Metal – empty drinks cans, food tins, foil, and metallic food trays
All materials should be empty, clean enough for recycling and dry. Always follow the accepted-material list for your specific collection, as some materials can vary by service.
What shouldn’t go in a DMR bin?
Ensure the following waste streams stay out of your DMR bin.
- Food waste
- Liquids
- General waste
- Used tissues and hygiene waste
- Batteries and electricals
- Hazardous packaging
- Polystyrene
- PVC packaging
- Compostable/biodegradable packaging
- Glass unless your specific DMR service accepts it
DMR bins
The right DMR bin depends on how much recycling your business produces, your available storage space and the collection frequency you require. Smaller two-wheel bins work well for lower volumes, while larger four-wheel bins suit sites producing more lightweight packaging and recycling.
Select from a wide range of dry mixed recycling wheelie bins to store your waste. All dry mixed recycling wheelie bins are easy to move around, each with a different weight capacity based on its size. Choose the best sizes and numbers of bins for your business. There are no delivery or rental fees as you only cover the collection costs for an affordable option.
Find the best DMR bin for your business:
-
240L DMR bin
A compact two-wheel bin for offices, small shops and sites producing lower volumes of dry recycling. Great if you have limited space – stores around 10kg of DMR.
-
360L DMR bin
The largest two-wheel option, suitable for businesses that need more capacity than a 240L bin but do not need a four-wheel container. Stores up to 15kg.
-

A four-wheel bin for businesses producing larger regular volumes of paper, packaging, cans and accepted plastics. Holds up to 30kg of DMR waste.
