Effectively manage your non-recyclable business waste with our zero-to-landfill service. Using Energy-from-Waste technology, we convert any waste that can’t be recycled into energy. Suitable for all businesses, our service ismore cost-effective than sending waste to landfill and reduces the environmental impact of your organisation.
*Batteries & Vapes: It is vital you do not place batteries or vapes into General Waste because they are a considerable fire risk and can endanger our staff and damage equipment.

Agree upon a collection schedule that suits your needs with our Helpdesk.
If you’ve ordered a bin and/or compactor, set it up in your bin store area or loading bay once it has been delivered.
Inform staff of the location and proper use of your new bins or sacks. You can download and print signage from the ‘Resources’ section of the MyRecorra portal to help your staff sort waste properly.
Please ensure ‘forbidden’ items such as batteries and vapes, hazardous waste, and clinical waste are not included in this waste stream.
Recorra’s Operatives will arrive and collect your waste as agreed.
We will take your waste to an Energy–from-Waste facility, where it is converted into energy for the National Grid.
Ideal for medium to large businesses with storage space like a waste storage area or loading bay, wheeled bins are collected on a rota that suits your needs. Our Helpdesk will help you select a bin size and collection schedule that works for you, and our Operatives will arrive as agreed to collect your waste by tipping it into our refuse collection vehicles.

Once general waste is collected, we tip at transfer stations along the Thames so it can be transported by river via a barge to Cory’s Energy-from-Waste facility. There, it is incinerated to generate power. The process creates residue, which is then recycled:
Energy-from-Waste businesses will join the UK Emissions Trading Scheme, starting with voluntary monitoring in 2026 and full inclusion by 2028-30. Under the scheme, incinerators will have to pay for the carbon they release from burning fossil-based materials like plastics.
For Recorra customers, this shift will likely increase the cost of general waste disposal, making it more important than ever to explore waste reduction, reuse initiatives, and additional recycling streams.
Kerbside sacks are provided on a roll and should be securely tied once full. They are to be placed on the pavement outside your business on your scheduled collection day. It is important not to overfill the sacks to prevent spillage or other issues during collection.
All general waste collected by Recorra is sent to an energy recovery facility where it is incinerated to generate electricity for the National Grid.
General waste is processed through incineration at Cory’s Energy-from-Waste facility.
From March 2025, businesses will be required to recycle food waste separately as per Simpler Recylcling guidelines.
