Simpler Recycling for London businesses
Since March 31st, 2025, organisations in England with 10 or more full-time equivalent employees have needed to separate food waste, dry recyclables and residual waste. Organisations with fewer than 10 have until March 31st, 2027.
The employee threshold applies across the organisation, not just one London site. Paper and card normally need collecting separately from plastic, metal and glass, unless the collector has a written co-collection assessment.
We can help you review the materials your premises produce and arrange suitable containers and collections with Simpler Recycling in mind.
Reliable commercial waste collection in London
A shared office building, a basement restaurant and a warehouse each need different storage and access arrangements. We’ll help you plan collections around the materials you produce, the space available and the agreed collection point.
London presents unique operational challenges. Congestion charging zones, restricted loading bays, limited storage space, and multi-tenant buildings all affect waste management. From corporate ESG expectations to the Mayor’s circular economy ambitions led by ReLondon. We help you stay compliant while keeping your waste management practical and cost-effective.
Our service includes:
- General waste and recycling collections for everyday rubbish and accepted recyclable materials.
- Separate food and glass services for hospitality premises and workplace kitchens.
- Specialist collections for agreed confidential, clinical, hazardous and electrical waste.
- Regular schedules and one-off collections, according to your requirements.
- Free standard bins and delivery, with no separate rental charge.
- Waste Transfer Note information included at no additional charge for non-hazardous collections.
If your business is located within London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) or Congestion Charge zone, you don’t need to worry about hidden charges. We arrange collections using compliant vehicles, and any zone-related costs are factored into your pricing upfront along with free bins and your duty of care certificate.

Supporting commercial waste management for a logistics business in Bermondsey
Robert Guy Ltd operates a busy fulfilment and logistics facility in Bermondsey, where warehouse activity, deliveries and dispatch all create a steady flow of packaging and general waste. In a dense South East London setting, waste management needs to be organised and reliable.
The site produces significant volumes of general waste and mixed recycling from packing materials, cardboard, plastic wrap and routine warehouse operations. With space working hard in an urban logistics setting, waste needs to be segregated properly and collected regularly to keep operations moving.
We introduced a four-bin 1100-litre setup with weekly collections, providing the capacity needed to support a high-throughput site while maintaining a clean, structured working environment.
The result is a practical waste system suited to a busy Bermondsey operation. Collections run consistently, recyclable materials are managed correctly, and the site stays clear and compliant without disrupting fulfilment activity.
