Recycle
With Us
We believe that everyone should be able to make an impact, no matter who you are or how much waste you create.
What happens to your plastic?
60% of plastic sent to be recycled in the UK ends up in incineration, landfill, or abroad, where it causes horrific damage to the environment.
There is a lack of transparency about where our plastic waste ends up and why it isn’t recycled.
Our solution
By recycling with Circular11 you are preventing plastic from harming our planet.
We guarantee that the plastic sent to us will be recycled into new materials. With a fully transparent process, you know exactly what happens to your waste.
You are supporting a small, independent company employing local people in a sustainable sector, which is having a positive impact on people and the planet.
How to get involved
We’re setting up Community Collection Points across Dorset where you can drop off your clean plastic waste for recycling.
We want to empower our local community by providing a sustainable way to manage plastic waste. So you’ll never have to fear that your plastic will be lost in the green bin forever.
Each time you recycle with Circular11, you are contributing to ongoing research to recycle “unrecyclable” plastics.
Community Collection Points
By recycling at Community Collection Points, you are taking action to support your environment, reducing your carbon impact and supporting your local community by contributing to our Community Collection Goals.
You can recycle the following items
We are starting with bottle tops, takeaway tubs, milk bottles, DVD & CD cases, plant pots and coffee cup lids. If these collections are successful, we will increase the types of plastic we are able to accept at Community Collection Points.
Recycling Rules
01
Check It
Check you have the right types of plastic: HDPE-2, LDPE-4, PP-5 and PS-6. Make sure your plastic is free from any other material like metals, foils, cardboard and labels.
02
Clean It
Plastic must be free of food, dirt and other contaminants before we can give it a new life. We are a small company and don't have washing facilities, so it is essential that the plastic that comes to us is clean, or we can't recycle it.
03
Drop it off
Drop off your clean plastic waste at one of our Community Collection Points during opening times. If a drop-off point is closed, please don't leave your rubbish outside, find another location which is open or pop back later.
The plastics must have the above recycling symbols and be clean,
contaminated plastic can risk the health of our staff and damage our equipment.
Our collection points are not for commercial use; however, if you own a local business that wants to take accountability for your plastic waste, we have set up Commercial Collections.

Community Collection Goals
Community Collection Goals are milestones of plastic collected by community and commercial collections, which trigger a Community Reward of our hand-made recycled plastic products, like a bench or planter, to be given to a deserving local group.
Every 10kg of plastic recycled with us, equates to 1 Plastic Point towards this goal.
Our First Reward
We will donate a bench to the Stable Family Home Trust, who support people with learning disabilities to live a more independent life.
Let us know which community group deserves to receive
our next Community Reward: recycling@circular11.com
Thank you!
A HUGE thank you to the local businesses who already recycle with us.
This free community service is being made possible by businesses signing up for our commercial collection service and recycling their plastic waste with us. Every kg of their waste also goes to the Community Collection Goals.
