Simpler Recycling in Windsor
Simpler Recycling in Windsor.
Windsor runs one of Berkshire's largest commercial waste districts by hospitality volume, anchored by Windsor Castle and the visitor estate that draws over 1.5 million people a year. The commercial base across SL4 runs from Peascod Street and the Royal Windsor Shopping Arcade through the riverside hospitality, with Eton High Street across the bridge and the Legoland operations to the south. Simpler Recycling caught almost all 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 in SL4 for years and our drivers know the Castle service yards, the riverside loading windows and the Peascod Street timings that work around the tourist flow. 28 years experience, and most new customers find us cheaper than what they had before.

About Windsor
What makes Windsor a Berkshire hotspot.
Windsor's hospitality base runs at high volume year round, with very little of the seasonal dip that most tourist towns get. That makes Simpler Recycling compliance both more important and more straightforward here: there is no quiet period to set things up in, but the steady volumes mean the schedule once it is right does not need to flex much. The conservation-area constraints matter for collection logistics, with tight access on the streets immediately around the Castle and on Eton High Street across the bridge. We run early-morning collection windows that get the food waste, recyclables and residual off the premises before the visitor flow starts, with sealed caddies that hold up through the summer.

FAQ
Common questions about simpler recycling in Windsor.
We run a hotel near Windsor Castle with 40 staff. What is the minimum compliant Simpler Recycling setup?
Three separated streams as a minimum: food waste on a sealed-caddy collection (usually daily or every other day at hotel volumes), paper and card in their own container, and a mixed dry recycling for plastic, metal and glass alongside residual. The collection schedule needs to fit the conservation-area access windows around the Castle, which we know well.
Are Eton businesses on the same Simpler Recycling rules as Windsor?
Yes. The regulation is national and applies the same across the Thames. Eton High Street's hospitality and retail base is on our regular SL4 route and the three-stream setup works the same as it does on Peascod Street.
Does Simpler Recycling apply to Windsor Castle and the royal estate visitor operations?
Yes. Heritage and visitor attractions are in scope like any other commercial operator. The visitor estate operations (catering, retail, ticketing offices) generate the standard commercial waste mix and need the separated streams. The royal household side is a separate matter under different governance.
