Dry mixed recycling (DMR) is clean, dry recyclable material collected in one bin or sack and separated at a materials recovery facility: cardboard, paper, plastic bottles and tubs, cans, tins and foil. Food, liquids, film and glass stay out; glass needs its own bin. It is the standard recycling stream for a London business.
Defined in the Commercial Waste Glossary.
