Mixed dry recyclables (MDR)

What are mixed dry recyclables?

Mixed dry recyclables is a loose term used to describe all mixtures of recyclable materials such as plastics, glass, metals and paper which are free from contaminates such as food, garden and construction waste. Mixed dry recyclables are the common recycling materials which are collected from most houses and businesses when you typically think of recycling.

We collect fully commingled mixtures of mixed dry recyclables which may contain plastic containers, cardboard, food and drinks cans or paper, and we'll pick it up with or without glass mixed in as well. Working with dedicated operators in the local authority, we then deliver the recyclables to a materials recovery facility, where it is separated into individual streams of raw materials, and sent for further recycling into high quality products.
