Simpler Recycling in Mortlake

Simpler Recycling in Mortlake.

SW14Richmond upon Thames

Mortlake is a small commercial stretch in the Borough of Richmond upon Thames, with Sheen Lane, the riverside pubs at the Boat Race finish line and the steady support businesses around the railway station carrying most of the local demand. The redeveloping Stag Brewery site will reshape SW14 over the next few years, and the new occupiers will arrive into a Simpler Recycling regime that has been live since 31 March 2025 for any business with 10 or more full-time staff. The core requirement is three separated streams: food waste (mandatory even without a kitchen), dry recyclables and general waste. Paper and card should be kept apart from plastic, metal and glass by default. FJL has collected on Sheen Lane and the Mortlake riverside for years, and our drivers know the access constraints around Boat Race weekend. Our team brings 28 years experience, and most new customers find us cheaper than what they had before.

FAQ

Common questions about simpler recycling in Mortlake.

We run a pub on the Mortlake riverside. Does the Boat Race weekend change our food waste arrangements?

It changes the volume sharply for one weekend a year. Most riverside customers go up to extra Saturday and Sunday slots through Boat Race weekend automatically. Food waste compliance does not change, but the volume does, so the caddy and container sizing needs to scale with it.

The Stag Brewery redevelopment is bringing new restaurants and offices to Mortlake. Will you cover them?

Yes. We serve SW14 daily and we are set up to take on the new occupiers as the Stag Brewery site comes through. We can speak to building management ahead of fit-out to plan the shared service yard arrangements and the three-stream split before opening day.
