Welcome to Fortress Recycling, where we're committed sustainability, we provide businesses and residential properties alike with convenient and environmentally friendly options for disposing of recyclable materials.

Understanding Dry Mixed Recycling

Dry Mixed Recycling (DMR) refers to the collection and recycling of clean and dry recyclable materials, such as paper, cardboard, plastic, and metal. Unlike traditional recycling methods that require sorting materials into separate bins, DMR allows these materials to be stored together before collection. This simplifies the recycling process and makes it more convenient for businesses and households to participate in recycling efforts.

What Can Be Recycled in Dry Mixed Recycling?

In Dry Mixed Recycling, you can typically recycle the following materials:

  • Plastics: Drinks bottles, milk containers, tubs and trays, yoghourt pots, and other plastic packaging such as film and shrink wrap..
  • Cardboard: Packaging, delivery boxes, and other cardboard products.
  • Paper: Office documents, newspapers, magazines, journals, and other paper items.
  • Metals: Tin cans, drinks cans, food containers, and other metal products.

FAQs About Dry Mixed Recycling Collection

  • What items can I include in Dry Mixed Recycling (DMR)?


    In Dry Mixed Recycling, you can include clean and dry recyclable materials such as paper, cardboard, plastic bottles and containers, and metal cans. However, it's important to avoid including food waste or glass items or any materials contaminated with food waste or liquids.


  • How should I prepare my recyclables for Dry Mixed Recycling?

     Before placing materials in the Dry Mixed Recycling bin, ensure they are clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Flattening cardboard boxes will save space if required. 


  • Can I recycle shredded paper in Dry Mixed Recycling?

    While shredded paper is recyclable, it's best to avoid placing it directly in the Dry Mixed Recycling bin. Shredded paper can easily become contaminated during the recycling process and may not be effectively sorted. Instead, consider composting shredded paper or using it as packing material.


  • Are there any restrictions on the size or weight of items I can place in the Dry Mixed Recycling bin?


     While there may be limitations on the size and weight of items due to bin capacity and transportation considerations, our Dry Mixed Recycling bins are designed to accommodate a range of waste volumes. If you have large quantities of recyclables, please contact us to discuss alternative arrangements.



  • What happens to the materials collected through Dry Mixed Recycling?


     Once collected, the materials are transported to a recycling facility where they undergo sorting, processing, and recycling. Paper and cardboard are often pulped and reformed into new paper products, while plastics and metals are melted down and moulded into new items. This process helps to conserve resources and reduce waste sent to landfill.


  • How often will my Dry Mixed Recycling bins be collected?


     We offer flexible collection schedules to suit your needs, including daily, weekly, fortnightly. The frequency of collections can be tailored to your waste volume and business requirements. If you're unsure about the ideal collection schedule for your premises, our team can provide guidance based on your needs.
