Mixed waste in York
York has around 83,000 households, meaning the City of York Council provides and collects about 83,000 domestic mixed recycling bins every fortnight. Some homes in the city centre enjoy weekly collections of mixed domestic recycling bins by St. Nick’s. However, York’s domestic recycling rate is currently only 44.9%, so plenty of recyclable household waste isn’t recycled.
Businesses in York must arrange collection of mixed recycling by licensed waste carriers. There are four main materials that class as dry mixed recycling:
- Paper – old newspapers, magazines, and envelopes
- Cardboard – empty cereal boxes, packaging materials, and greeting cards
- Metal – clean and empty drinks cans and food trays
- Plastic – drinks bottles, plastic food packaging, and margarine tubs

How commercial dry mixed recycling works in York
Get free DMR bins delivered to your business anywhere in York. Fill these with clean and dry recyclable materials and within any weight limits of the individual bin. Book in collection on a daily, weekly, or fortnightly schedule – one-off rubbish removals are available too – and we’ll come and collect your mixed waste.
One of our licensed waste carriers will be behind the wheel, so you can rest assured your dry mixed recycling is collected and transported safely to a recycling centre in and around York. Here the experts at the recycling centre will sort and separate the mixed waste by materials to recycle it with its relevant waste stream.
For example, all paper products in your dry mixed recycling bins will be removed and recycled with other waste paper on-site or moved to a paper mill for recycling. Here it will be sorted by paper grade, mixed with water and chemicals to create a pulp, rolled out and dried to form new paper products.

How can I reduce the amount of dry mixed recycling my York business creates?
A few ways to reduce the amount of dry mixed recycling waste your York business creates are to:
- Focus on better waste management. Incorporating better waste management practices into the daily running of your business can help reduce the amount of waste you produce. For example, you could look into heightening workplace efficiency so that fewer materials are needed to get the job done. Furthermore, you should also ensure you have a strong waste management plan in place and that each employee receives appropriate waste disposal training.
- Reuse products rather than discard them. Reusing products where appropriate, such as in both schools and offices you could use both sides of the paper, or clean out empty plastic drinks bottles to reuse.
- Source sustainable products. Using sustainable products within the workplace is a great way to reduce the amount of waste you produce. For example, you could seek alternatives to single-use plastic, such as water bottles.
-
Is there a fee for mixed waste collection in York?
Costs for commercial dry mixed waste collections vary depending on the number and size of bins you need and how often they’re collected. At Divert we provide free bins but you cover the costs of collection. Domestic mixed recycling should be collected by the City of York council or St. Nick’s for free.
