Simpler Recycling

Waste management regulation in England has changed. On 31 March new Simpler Recycling legislation, introduced by The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, came into force.

This legislation is designed to improve business recycling rates, by standardising recycling practices across England. The legislation makes it clear that food waste items can no longer be sent to landfill and should not be included in general waste disposal.

At the same time, Simpler Recycling encourages businesses to combine specific items together in one recycling bin (dry mixed recycling). This enables a higher level of recycling, whilst reducing the volume of waste going to landfill. The legislation, together with the recent changes to Landfill Tax, is designed to improve recycling rates.

General Waste

Our general waste bins are perfect for businesses that produce non-recyclable, everyday waste. Available in a range of sizes, these bins provide a convenient way to manage typical office, retail, and industrial waste without any hassle. We offer flexible collection schedules to fit around your working hours and business needs, helping to keep your premises tidy and compliant.

Our team ensures that your waste is collected promptly and responsibly disposed of, minimising your environmental impact. We also provide support and advice on how to manage waste volumes more efficiently, making it easy for you to focus on running your business while we handle your waste needs.

Mixed Recycling

Our recycling wheelie bins are designed to help businesses reduce landfill waste and boost their green credentials. Suitable for collecting paper, cardboard, plastics, and metals, these bins make it easy for your business to adopt more sustainable waste management practices. We supply clearly labelled bins and offer guidance to help you and your team sort waste effectively.

Our reliable collection service ensures that recyclables are processed at licensed facilities, helping your business meet recycling targets and reduce overall disposal costs.

What can I put in a general waste bin?

General waste bins are designed for non-recyclable, non-hazardous everyday rubbish, such as food wrappers, hygiene products, and certain types of packaging. These bins are ideal for offices, retail units, and commercial spaces that produce regular waste not suitable for recycling.

However, hazardous materials like chemicals, batteries, and medical waste should never be placed in a general waste bin. If you’re unsure about what is acceptable, our team at Direct Skips UK is always available to provide a simple guide to ensure you stay compliant and avoid contamination issues.

What materials can I recycle in a wheelie bin?

Our recycling wheelie bins accept clean paper, cardboard, plastics, cans, and tins. By separating these materials properly, you help your business reduce its environmental impact and keep waste management costs low.

Contaminated items like greasy pizza boxes, dirty food containers, and mixed materials (like coffee cups) should be avoided as they can disrupt the recycling process. We supply clear labelling on bins and offer advice to help your business maximise recycling success.

What kind of food waste do you collect?

We collect all types of food waste, including vegetable peelings, dairy products, meat, expired goods, and leftovers. Our dedicated food waste bins are leak-proof and sealed to maintain hygiene and prevent odours at your premises.

Proper separation of food waste reduces landfill use and supports eco-friendly processing methods such as composting and energy recovery. By using our food waste service, your business actively contributes to a greener Dorset while keeping your operations cleaner and more efficient.

What size wheelie bins do you offer?

We supply a variety of bin sizes to cater to businesses of all types and waste outputs. Options typically range from smaller 240-litre bins for limited space areas, to larger 660-litre and 1100-litre bins for businesses generating higher volumes of waste.

Choosing the right bin size can help you manage your waste more efficiently and keep costs under control. If you’re unsure what size would suit your needs best, we’re happy to provide expert advice and arrange a free site assessment.

Do you offer bins for different types of waste?

Yes, we offer specialised bins for general waste, recycling, food waste, glass, confidential waste, and more. Having separate bins for different waste streams helps your business stay compliant with recycling regulations and lowers landfill contributions.

By working with Direct Skips UK, you can streamline your waste management system with clearly labelled, colour-coded bins. This helps your staff dispose of waste correctly and improves your site's overall sustainability.

Can I change my wheelie bin service if my needs change?

Absolutely — we understand that business needs can change throughout the year. If you need a bigger bin, more frequent collections, or even additional waste types collected, we’re flexible and can adjust your service quickly.

We pride ourselves on providing a hassle-free waste management solution, so you’ll never be stuck with a service that doesn’t fit. Just call or email us, and we’ll sort it out without delay.

Is there a minimum contract for wheelie bin hire?

We offer flexible hire options without tying you into long-term contracts unless you request it. Many of our customers appreciate our straightforward service that can be scaled up, down, or paused depending on their circumstances.

Whether you need a short-term solution or ongoing scheduled collections, we can set up a plan that fits your needs. Speak to our team today, and we’ll work out the best option for your business.

Food Waste

For businesses that produce food waste, such as restaurants, cafes, and catering companies, our food waste bins offer a hygienic and practical solution. These bins are specially designed to contain food scraps, expired products, and kitchen waste, helping to maintain a clean and sanitary workspace. We supply bins in various sizes to match the volume of waste your business generates.

With regular collections and secure, sealed containers, we help you manage food waste effectively while preventing odours and pest problems. Our food waste disposal service is carried out responsibly, with much of the collected waste sent for composting or energy recovery, supporting a more sustainable approach to commercial waste management.

Glass

We offer reliable glass collection services for businesses that produce glass waste regularly, such as pubs, restaurants, offices, and retail outlets. We provide dedicated glass bins that make it easy to safely dispose of bottles, jars, and other glass items without contamination. Our service ensures that your glass waste is collected efficiently and sent to licensed recycling facilities, helping your business stay environmentally responsible and compliant with waste regulations.

Handling glass waste correctly is crucial not just for the environment, but also for maintaining health and safety standards on your premises. Our team provides flexible collection schedules to suit your business needs, whether you require weekly pickups or more frequent service during busy periods.
