New rules simplifying recycling for workplaces

Posted on 24 April 2025 in News and updates

New Government rules to simplify how workplaces in England sort their recycling and waste have now come into force. It means that organisations with 10 or more employees must ensure their waste is separated for recycling.

You must always separate:

  • dry recyclable materials (plastic, metal, glass, paper and card)
  • food waste
  • non-recyclable waste (also called residual waste)
