A DMR bin accepts the following dry, uncontaminated materials:
- Paper: newspapers, office paper, magazines and mail
- Cardboard: boxes and uncontaminated packaging
- Plastic bottles and pots: PET and HDPE plastics
- Metal tins, cans and foil
All items must be dry and free from food residue or grease. Contaminated materials can prevent the entire load from being recycled.
Dry mixed recycling bins are for clean, dry recyclable materials only. The following must not be placed in a DMR bin: food waste, general waste, glass, black plastic, crisp packets, waxed paper cups, polystyrene, hard plastic, textiles, batteries, electrical items, chemicals, rubble and furniture. Contamination risks the recyclability of the entire load and may result in your collection being rejected.
Once collected, dry mixed recycling is taken to a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), where materials such as paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, tins and cans are mechanically and manually sorted before being sent for reprocessing into new products. Keeping your DMR bin free from contamination is essential, as mixed or contaminated loads may be rejected and sent to landfill rather than being recycled.

Yes. Workplace recycling rules in England changed on 31 March 2025. All businesses, charities and public sector organisations must now separate dry recyclable materials, including paper, cardboard, plastic and metal, from food waste and residual waste before collection. Micro-firms with fewer than 10 full-time equivalent employees have until 31 March 2027 to comply. Businesses that do not comply are at risk of receiving a compliance notice from the Environment Agency. A dry mixed recycling service can help your business separate recyclable materials correctly and support compliance with workplace recycling requirements.
Better Waste Solutions offers DMR bins in a range of sizes to suit businesses of all types and waste volumes, including 240L, 360L, 660L and 1,100L wheelie bins, as well as larger front-end loader containers for higher-volume operations. Our team will recommend the right bin size based on your waste output, collection frequency and available space.
Dry mixed recycling bins can be collected on a schedule that suits your business, whether that’s weekly, fortnightly or at another agreed frequency. The right collection schedule depends on your waste volumes, site setup and operational needs. Better Waste Solutions can help arrange a service that avoids overflowing bins without making you pay for unnecessary collections.
