London recycling

Recycling in London helps protect the environment and work towards the city’s recycling targets. Currently the recycling rate for London households is only 33%, while the non-household recycling rate is 48% – balancing out at 41%. This is below the national average and short of the 50% household waste recycling goal for 2030.

The mayor of London has also set a target of 65% recycling by 2030 in the London Environment Strategy – meaning non-household recycling needs to be around 75% by 2030. Businesses in the capital can do their part to help achieve this by recycling as much commercial waste as possible.

We provide free bins to separate and store your rubbish in individual recycling streams. This reduces the risk of contamination and helps improve recycling for London businesses. You’ll make significant savings by reducing landfill tax, do your bit for the environment, and improve your company’s green reputation.

Arrange recycling collection in London for a wide range of waste types including paper, cardboard, glass, metal, plastics, packaging, and dry mixed recycling. We can advise on whether your waste is recyclable and ensure as much as possible is recycled to help London work towards a greener future.

Cardboard recycling in London

Recycling cardboard in London is important for all businesses as it’s a commonly used material and highly recyclable. Companies in every industry create cardboard waste in London from old packaging, storage boxes, food containers, and even toilet rolls. Such cardboard can be recycled numerous times, though the fibres shorten to a point beyond recovery.

Cardboard recycling in London is easy and 70 per cent of what comes to Bywaters’ East London recycling centre is paper or cardboard by weight. Different grades of cardboard can be recycled together, as long as the contents remain clean and dry. We provide cardboard collection in London for all types and amounts of waste cardboard across the capital city.
