Waste management solutions for common waste streams, as well as niche requirements.
At Reconomy Connect, we provide single stream recycling options for common waste streams such as plastic, glass, paper, food, metal, wood and cardboard.

We’ll be on hand to evaluate your waste streams and volumes to best advise on required services and collection schedules, focusing on achieving maximum recycling and reuse rates as well as delivering cost savings and maximum material rebates where applicable.

A strategic approach to high volumes and problematic waste streams
Our single stream recycling services are designed to tackle those high volume or problematic waste streams. At Reconomy Connect, we;re committed to moving waste as far up the waste hierarchy as possible. That’s why as a first step, we’ll work with you to complete a waste audit to fully understand the amount of waste of a particular stream being produced. By doing this, we can identify not only an efficient collection schedule, but also identify re-use and circular solution opportunities.
We’ll work with you to unlock as much value as possible from your waste, as well as connect you with our large network of charities and social enterprises to help you deliver on your sustainability goals and social value commitments.

Since 31st March 2025, all businesses (except those classified as microbusinesses) are required to segregate common waste streams for recycling. This legislation impacts waste streams such as cardboard, plastics, metal, food and glass. All materials specified as recyclable under Simpler Recycling must be collected separately from residual, general or construction waste.
Here at Reconomy Connect, we have a stringent compliance process for our entire supply chain, giving you confidence that your waste is handled compliant. If you are still not sure of the Simpler Recycling requirements, you can find out more in our Simpler Recycling Guide, or contact us today for a bespoke consultation.
