Simpler Recycling in Shepperton
Simpler Recycling in Shepperton.
Shepperton is anchored by Shepperton Studios, one of the largest film and television production sites in Europe, with a steady local base of high street, marine and hospitality businesses across TW17. Simpler Recycling caught all of them on 31 March 2025 for any business with 10 or more full-time staff. The required setup is three separated streams: food waste, dry recyclables (plastic, metal, glass, paper and card) and residual. Paper and card should be kept apart from plastic, metal and glass unless your collector signs off a co-collection assessment. Film and television production generates an unusually varied waste stream, with set construction timber, prop disposal, scenic fabric, crew catering food waste and large volumes of packaging from incoming kit. FJL has handled production waste at Shepperton for years and we are 28 years experience, with the depot in Uxbridge keeping our response times tight and our pricing fair across Surrey.

About Shepperton
What makes Shepperton a Surrey hotspot.
Production sites are an interesting case under Simpler Recycling because the volumes flex dramatically with the shoot schedule, but the compliance obligation does not. A production unit with 50 crew on set still needs the three separated streams in place even if the office headcount is small. The headcount threshold is per enterprise, which for the larger productions means the producing company is well over the threshold regardless of which set is shooting that week. We work with the Studios and individual productions to schedule food waste, dry recyclables and general waste collections around shoot days, with the segregation training that the crew need to keep streams clean.

FAQ
Common questions about simpler recycling in Shepperton.
We are an independent production renting a stage at Shepperton for 8 weeks. Does Simpler Recycling apply to us?
If your production company has 10 or more full-time-equivalent staff, yes. The duty is on the waste producer, which is the production. We can set up the three separated streams for the shoot period and remove them when you wrap. Crew catering food waste, scenic and construction waste and the office and edit suite recyclables all go on separate collections.
Can FJL handle the crew catering food waste from a Shepperton shoot?
Yes. Crew catering generates serious food waste tonnages, especially on the longer shoots. Sealed caddies on a daily rotation through filming weeks is the standard setup. We can scale up and back as the schedule moves through pre-production, principal photography and wrap.
We run a marine business on the Shepperton riverside with 4 staff. Are we caught yet?
Not on the main timeline. Under-10-FTE micro-firms have until 31 March 2027 to comply. A separated setup is straightforward to put in place now and most TW17 small businesses are moving on it earlier rather than later.
