Mixed Waste Sorting Guide: How to Dispose of Residual Waste Correctly

Mixed waste (also known as residual waste) includes items and materials that cannot be recycled into specific categories like paper, plastic, glass, or bio-waste.

Proper mixed waste sorting helps reduce contamination in recycling streams and ensures that non-recyclable materials are processed safely.

What Goes Into Mixed Waste? (Allowed Items)

You can dispose of general everyday items that are not clean enough for standard recycling loops. This includes:

  • Dirty packaging (food-stained wrappers, soiled cardboard)

  • Contaminated materials and personal hygiene products

  • Other residual waste that does not fit into specific recycling bins

What to Keep Out of Mixed Waste? (Prohibited Items)

To protect the environment and support safer waste processing, never place the following materials into mixed waste containers:

  • Liquids (wastes that can leak and cause mess or chemical reactions)

  • Hazardous waste (chemicals, batteries, paints)

  • Electronics and e-waste (require specialized handling and recycling)
