Dry Mixed Recycling (DMR)
A simple, stress-free solution for your paper, cardboard, plastic and can recyclables.
The Easiest Way to Manage Your Business Dry Mixed Recycling
Dry mixed recycling (DMR) is a single-bin service that lets your business collect clean, dry recyclables such as paper, cardboard, plastic and metal cans together, without sorting them into separate containers.
Our DMR service makes recycling effortless and worry free. By utilising our DMR bins, you are able to dispose of a wide range of common recyclable materials at once without having to worry about confusing labels or types of materials. By simplifying your waste management, you’ll be able to reduce costs and help your business meet its environmental and legal obligations easily. DMR waste management is a reliable, fully compliant route to dry mixed recycling for businesses of every size, from a single office to multi-site operations across Kent and the South East.

Find the Perfect DMR Bins for Your Business
We provide dry mixed recycling bins to suit the volume your site produces, so you only pay for the capacity you need. If you’re not sure what suits you, our team will recommend the most cost-effective set-up for your commercial dry mixed recycling collection.
Our wheeled DMR bins suit steady, everyday recycling volumes. Ideal for offices, shops and smaller sites that need regular, space-saving collections in a single container.
Roll-on roll-off (RoRo) containers handle large, bulky volumes of dry mixed recyclables. Best for warehouses, distribution sites and larger premises managing high volumes of cardboard and packaging.
For sites with consistent, higher volumes, we supply Rear End Loaders which compress cardboard and plastic to reduce the number of collections and make your mixed dry recycling more cost-effective.
Our Advanced Sorting Process
Seamlessly blending tech and human expertise.
Your DMR waste will make its way to our Ridham Dock facility where it is inspected and onward transferred. Our facility uses both sophisticated machinery and expert staff to accurately sort through the collected waste to ensure all materials are processed in the correct way. Your business dry mixed recycling is separated back into single material streams, paper, cardboard, plastic and metal, ready to be recycled. Keeping food, liquids and glass out of the bin keeps contamination low and the recovered materials high in quality.

DMR stands for dry mixed recycling. It refers to the clean, dry recyclables, paper, cardboard, plastic and cans, that can be collected together in a single bin and separated later for recycling.
