Whether you are located on a busy high street or a quiet industrial estate, our modern fleet is equipped to handle Bristol’s unique road layouts and access requirements.

How do I know which wheelie bin size is right for my business? It depends on your waste volume and available storage space. For small cafes or offices, a 240L bin is often sufficient. Larger restaurants typically opt for 660L bins, while warehouses with high-volume cardboard or packaging usually require our 1100L bins. We offer a free waste audit to help you choose the most cost-effective option.

Do you provide the necessary legal paperwork for waste disposal? Yes. As a fully licensed waste carrier, we provide a Waste Transfer Note (WTN) for every collection. This is your proof of “Duty of Care,” ensuring that your business remains compliant with UK environmental laws and Bristol City Council regulations.

Can I have separate wheelie bins for general waste and recycling? Absolutely. In fact, we encourage it! We provide dedicated bins for Dry Mixed Recycling (DMR), which includes paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, and cans. Separating your recycling not only helps the environment but can also reduce your overall waste management costs.

What happens if my collection day falls on a Bank Holiday? We pride ourselves on reliability. If a Bank Holiday affects your usual schedule, we will notify you in advance and arrange an alternative collection day to ensure your waste doesn’t pile up.

The “Simpler Recycling” Reforms: What Bristol Businesses Need to Know

As of 31 March 2025, the landscape of commercial waste in the UK has fundamentally changed. Under the Government’s new “Simpler Recycling” legislation, the rules for how businesses, healthcare establishments, and schools manage their waste have been overhauled to ensure a more consistent, environmentally friendly approach across England.

For business owners in Bristol, staying compliant is no longer just about “being green”—it is now a legal requirement. Here is a comprehensive summary of the 2025 reforms and how they impact your daily operations.
1. Mandatory Separation of Waste Streams

The core objective of the 31 March 2025 deadline is to end the practice of “co-mingling” all waste types into a single general waste bin. All businesses (except micro-firms with fewer than 10 employees, who have until 2027) must now separate their waste into specific streams before collection.

The mandated recyclable waste streams include:

Glass: Bottles and jars.

Metal: Cans, foil, and aerosols.

Plastic: Bottles, pots, tubs, and trays.

Paper and Cardboard: All clean paper and card packaging.

3. Compliance Deadlines and Tiers

While the 31 March 2025 deadline applies to most, the legislation acknowledges the challenges faced by the smallest enterprises:

Standard Businesses (10+ Employees): Full compliance was required by 31 March 2025.

Micro-firms (Under 10 Employees): These businesses have a transition period until 31 March 2027 to implement these changes to wheelie bins collection.

Plastic Film: The requirement to recycle plastic films (such as pallet wrap and carrier bags) will not come into effect for any business size until 31 March 2027.

4. Why Compliance is Good for Your Bristol Business

At The Two Georges, we believe these changes offer more than just a box-ticking exercise. By embracing Simpler Recycling, your business can benefit from:

Cost Efficiency: Landfill Tax continues to rise. By diverting heavy food waste and recyclables into dedicated streams, you can often reduce your total waste disposal spend.

Legal Peace of Mind: Ensuring you have the correct Waste Transfer Notes (WTN) for each stream protects you from potential fines and sanctions from the Environment Agency.

Enhanced Reputation: Bristol consumers are increasingly eco-conscious. Demonstrating that your business follows the latest sustainability laws is a powerful marketing tool.

How The Two Georges Can Help

Navigating new legislation can be daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. We provide the specific wheelie bins and collection schedules required to keep your Bristol business fully compliant with the 2025 reforms. From food waste bins to mixed recycling solutions, we ensure your waste is handled legally, safely, and locally.

The Two Georges insight into this new piece on legislation.

Most businesses and responsible wheelie bin collection services already strive to keep waste seperate as this is both good for the environment and good business, as they are able to reduce their cost.
They have left a loophole in the legislation which will pretty much negate it, If your waste contactor is collecting all your waste into one vehicle you should ask for a teep assessment to make sure that you aren’t liable and have shown a duty of care.
While these changes are a step in the right direction the biggest issue the uk faces in recycling wheelie bins contents is as follows;
In the UK, what you call a “subsidy” is a market-based financial credit called a
Packaging Recovery Note (PRN) for domestic recycling or a Packaging Export Recovery Note (PERN) for exports. These are not government grants, but tradable certificates that businesses must buy to meet their legal recycling obligations.
The answer depends on whether the waste is exported or processed domestically:
1. Exporting 1 Tonne (PERN)
The exporter typically receives payment for the full tonne.
PERNs are issued when the waste is exported to its end destination. Currently, there is a known industry “advantage” where exporters can issue credits on the full container weight without a physical audit of how much is lost during the overseas recycling process.

2. Domestic Recycling 1 Tonne (PRN)
The company only gets credit for the actual amount recycled.
UK reprocessors are strictly audited. They must subtract “non-target material” (contamination like plastic tape or food) and only issue PRNs for the final output (the actual recycled raw material).
If a UK company takes 1 tonne of cardboard but only produces 0.5 tonnes of recycled product due to contamination or process loss, they can only sell 0.5 tonnes worth of PRNs.

The PRN and PERN have the same value but the exporter is getting a much better deal with zero oversight. This is the mechanism that is encouraging bad actors to abuse the system and send very questionable recycling loads overseas to possible decay into the environment in some field and be rewarded more that the UK recycling firm. Who are following strict guidelines and trying their best for the environment only to be penalised in comparision to the exporters.
