Simpler Recycling in Putney
Simpler Recycling in Putney.
Putney is a serious commercial high street, dense with retail and hospitality from Putney Bridge up to the Exchange shopping centre, with the Embankment hospitality strip running along the Thames and the rowing club scene that gives SW15 its identity. Simpler Recycling caught most of the high street and embankment on 31 March 2025 for businesses with 10 or more full-time staff. The compliant setup is three separated streams: food waste (mandatory even with no kitchen), dry recyclables and general waste. Paper and card should sit in their own container by default unless your collector signs off a co-collection assessment. FJL has been collecting in SW15 for years and our drivers know the high street loading windows, the awkward turns into the Embankment access roads and the bin store layouts at the rowing clubs. Our team brings 28 years experience, HVO fuelled fleet, and most new customers find us cheaper than what they had before.

About Putney
What makes Putney a South West London hotspot.
Putney's hospitality density is where Simpler Recycling matters most in SW15. The high street alone carries dozens of restaurants, bars and cafes within a few hundred metres, and the food waste volumes through Friday and Saturday nights are significant. Year-one enforcement has been pragmatic but the Environment Agency does have teeth, and the £118 per hour non-compliance assessment charge introduced from February 2026 puts real cost into ignoring a compliance notice. We run early-morning collection windows along the high street and the embankment that get food waste off the premises before the lunch trade arrives, with sealed caddies that do not draw foxes or smells through the warm months.

FAQ
Common questions about simpler recycling in Putney.
We have an office above the Putney high street with 30 staff and no kitchen, just a tea point. Food waste really applies?
Yes. The regulation makes food waste mandatory regardless of whether you have a kitchen. Tea bags, fruit, milk, food brought in by staff for lunch and any leftovers all count. A small lidded caddy on a weekly collection is usually all an office of this size needs to be compliant.
Our rowing club has 8 paid staff and a much larger volunteer base. Do volunteers count toward the FTE threshold?
The threshold is based on full-time-equivalent staff, which generally means paid employees. Volunteers do not typically count. With 8 paid staff you are likely under the threshold until 31 March 2027, but the club is still a business waste producer and a clean separated setup is straightforward to put in place now.
Do you cover collections for the Boat Race weekend on the Putney Embankment?
Yes. The Embankment hospitality businesses get scaled-up collection schedules automatically through Boat Race weekend, including extra Sunday slots if needed. The separated streams stay the same, the frequency goes up.
