What is dry mixed recycling?

Dry mixed recycling allows businesses to place multiple recyclable materials into a single bin. This reduces complexity, saves time, and ensures waste is processed responsibly. Examples of dry mixed recycling include:

  • Paper and cardboard
  • Plastics, such as bottles and packaging
  • Aluminium and steel cans
  • Cartons and other recyclable containers

By using dry mixed recycling services, businesses in Derby, Chesterfield, and across the county can simplify waste management while ensuring recyclable materials are diverted from landfill and reused efficiently.

Dry mixed recycling collection

Derbyshire Waste provides reliable dry mixed recycling collection services tailored to the needs of local businesses. Collections are scheduled regularly to suit each organisation, ensuring recycling is handled quickly, safely, and responsibly. Daily, weekly, and fortnightly collection of DMR from businesses of any size, industry, and location is possible.

All collected materials are processed for recycling, reducing landfill and helping businesses comply with Simpler Recycling requirements. Companies support sustainability and cut disposal costs such as landfill tax when focusing on dry mixed recycling. Dependable dry mixed recycling collection helps businesses save time, money, and resources.

DMR services are ideal for:

  • Offices in Derby city centre and Chesterfield
  • Shops and high street retailers in Belper and Ashbourne
  • Restaurants, cafes, and hotels in Bakewell and the Peak District
  • Warehouses and logistics hubs in Ripley and Long Eaton

How is DMR processed?

Once we collect your DMR, it’s taken to a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF). Here, it’s sorted into individual material types using a combination of manual and mechanical processes. These materials are then baled and sent to reprocessors to be transformed into new products.

These DMR bins are provided in a range of sizes, from more compact 240 litre bins best for small shops and cafes to larger units including 1100 litre wheelie bins ideal for warehouses and industrial estates.
