Simpler Recycling in Tooting
Simpler Recycling in Tooting.
Tooting carries one of the densest hospitality footprints in South West London, with Tooting Market, Broadway Market, the Broadway and the high street running down to Mitcham anchoring a serious commercial waste base. Simpler Recycling caught all of it on 31 March 2025 for businesses with 10 or more full-time staff. The compliant setup is three separated streams: food waste, dry recyclables and general waste. Paper and card should be kept apart from plastic, metal and glass by default unless your collector signs off a co-collection assessment. The Tooting food scene runs hard on volume and the food waste stream is the priority compliance point here. FJL has been collecting in SW17 for years and our drivers know the market service access, the high street loading bay timings and the back-of-house arrangements for the Broadway restaurants. 28 years experience, and most new customers find us cheaper than what they had before.

About Tooting
What makes Tooting a South West London hotspot.
Tooting Market and Broadway Market together host more than 50 independent food and drink businesses across a small footprint, one of the densest hospitality clusters in South West London. Most of the individual market traders are under the 10 FTE threshold and have until 31 March 2027 to comply, but the markets themselves and the larger anchor restaurants on the Broadway are caught now. Practically, getting a shared food waste arrangement set up across the market traders is the sensible move, both for compliance and for the cost saving on residual. We can work with the market operator and the individual traders to set up a programme that fits the way the markets actually run.

FAQ
Common questions about simpler recycling in Tooting.
We are an independent restaurant on Tooting Broadway with 12 staff. What is the minimum compliant setup?
Three separated streams. Food waste in a sealed caddy on a frequent collection (most Tooting restaurants run twice a week through the warm months), paper and card in their own container, and a mixed dry recycling for plastic, metal and glass alongside residual. Paper and card can join the other dry recyclables only if we sign off a written co-collection assessment for your site.
Are market traders at Tooting Market caught individually by Simpler Recycling?
If the trader is a business with 10 or more FTE staff, yes. Most small market traders are under the threshold and have until 31 March 2027. But the food waste stream is shared in practice, and getting a market-wide separated collection set up early makes sense for everyone.
Does St George's Hospital fall under the same Simpler Recycling rules as the high street?
Yes. Hospitals are explicitly in scope. Clinical waste is handled under separate regulations and continues to be segregated as it always has been, but the general non-clinical waste (food waste from canteens, paper and card, dry recyclables) is caught by Simpler Recycling.
