Simpler Recycling in Wandsworth
Simpler Recycling in Wandsworth.
Wandsworth Town runs a dense commercial base anchored by the Southside shopping centre, the Ram Quarter brewery redevelopment, the riverside hospitality strip from Wandsworth Bridge down to St Mary's Church, and the borough offices. Simpler Recycling caught most of that base on 31 March 2025 for businesses with 10 or more full-time staff. The required 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. FJL has been collecting across SW18 for years, the depot is well placed for South West London response times and our drivers know the Southside service yards, the Ram Quarter access and the riverside loading windows. 28 years experience, HVO fuelled fleet, and most new customers find us cheaper than what they had before.

About Wandsworth
What makes Wandsworth a South West London hotspot.
The Ram Quarter redevelopment has reshaped Wandsworth Town's commercial mix sharply, with a cluster of new restaurants, offices and ground-floor retail on the historic Young's Brewery site. Most of those occupiers came in after Simpler Recycling was already announced and have set up the three-stream split from day one. The older Wandsworth Town commercial base around the high street and the riverside is where the gap is bigger, with established operators who have run a residual-and-mixed-recycling model for years now needing to add a separate food waste stream and split paper and card off the dry recyclables. We work through that conversion without disrupting existing schedules.

FAQ
Common questions about simpler recycling in Wandsworth.
We run a restaurant in the Ram Quarter with 18 staff. Is our food waste setup compliant?
If you have a separate food waste collection running and the dry recyclables are split correctly between paper-and-card and plastic-metal-glass (or co-collected with a written assessment), yes. We can audit what you have in place against the regulation and tell you what is missing, often during the first site visit.
Wandsworth Council runs its own commercial waste service. Why use FJL instead?
Councils run a commercial waste service alongside their household collections, but the rounds tend to be slower and the pricing rarely beats the independent operators on commercial routes. Our team brings 28 years experience, our routes are built around SW18 specifically, and most new customers find us cheaper than what they had before.
Are the riverside hospitality businesses on the same Simpler Recycling rules as the high street?
Yes. National regulation applies regardless of where in SW18 you are. What differs in practice is the access for collection, the early-morning windows the riverside venues need and the seasonal scaling through summer. We schedule around all of it.
