SIMPLER RECYCLING:
Are you compliant with the latest waste and recycling laws in England?
Since 31st March 2025 (31st March 2027 for organisations with fewer than 10 full time employees), new regulations mean schools and all places of education, like businesses, need to comply with clear and organised waste management solutions.
What does it mean for you?
Workplaces are now responsible for separating dry recyclable materials, food waste and black bin waste (residual waste) in accordance with arrangements made with their waste collector. Non-compliance can lead to fines. Find out more about workplace recycling in England here.
Choose from our vast range of bins and accessories for an efficient recycling setup that meets the new standards and keeps students, staff and visitors engaged in your sustainability efforts.
