New rules on workplace recycling in England

LEGISLATION

New recycling rules in England, effective from March 31, 2025, require businesses with 10 or more employees to separate waste into three categories: dry recyclables (including paper, metal, plastic, and glass), food waste, and general waste (non-recyclable items).

Micro-firms (with fewer than 10 employees) have until March 31, 2027, to comply.

These changes aim to simplify recycling and increase recycling rates. 

You should discuss the requirements with your waste collector and arrange separate dry recycling, food waste and non-recyclable waste collection. The waste collector can be a private waste collector or your local authority may also provide services.

If your current waste collector does not offer the full range of collection services, you will need to arrange these services from other providers. 

You must make sure that the company is registered on the Public Register of Waste Carriers, Brokers and Dealers. 

Businesses will continue to pay for their own waste management services.
