Simpler Recycling – Wigan

On 31st March 2025 Simpler Recycling Laws came into effect. All businesses with 10 or more full time equivalent employees must segregate their waste streams at source. This is to allow for easier and more efficient recycling. Schools, hospitals and commercial enterprises must all comply with these updated laws and separate the following waste:

Plastic, glass, metal (cans, tins and foil), cartons & tetrapaks, paper and cardboard, and food waste.

Businesses with less than 10 employees are advised to separate any materials but will not be subject to the legislation until March 2027.

Fresh Start can ensure you are totally compliant with Simpler Recycling rules and regulations, supporting you with waste management and sustainability for your company in Wigan. We have already won two prestigious awards for our work on Simpler Recycling, including an International Green Apple Award for our Simpler Recycling for Schools campaign.
