What is dry
mixed recycling?
Dry mixed recycling (DMR or mixed recycling) is a common waste type that most businesses produce. It’s a single waste stream that combines paper, cardboard, plastic, and metal in one bin for recycling. This offers convenient, efficient, and cost-effective recycling of various materials with one bin or container and collection.
They’re placed in one waste stream and processed, so there’s no need to separate paper from plastics for example – as long as they’re clean, dry, and free from contaminants. DMR provides a great alternative to general waste that’s better for the environment as the materials are recycled rather than going to landfill or incineration.
There’s no need for individual bins for the likes of paper and cardboard as they can be combined. This helps businesses with limited space and budget save money while still recycling their rubbish. Most of the waste in dry mixed recycling is packaging for food and drinks, such as cans, plastic bottles, and cereal boxes.

Dry mixed recycling disposal
Dry mixed recycling waste is disposed of away from landfill and incineration with the materials recycled and turned into new products. After DMR waste is removed by licensed waste carriers it’s transported to specialist recycling facilities. Here the materials are checked, sorted, and separated into individual waste streams.
The likes of paper and cardboard are removed and sent for recycling with other such materials and turned into fresh paper and card products. Plastic may be segregated by grade before it’s cleaned, shredded, melted, and moulded into new plastic products. Each stream of DMR is recycled separately.
You receive a free duty of care certificate that confirms the safe and legal removal, transportation, and disposal of your commercial dry mixed recycling. This provides peace of mind that any DMR from your business is recycled and disposed of away from landfill. It helps protect the environment and avoid paying landfill tax for its disposal.

- Potentially hazardous waste – batteries, bleach bottles, and paint tins
