Cardboard & Paper Recycling

Yes, we will pay market rate for large quantities of good quality cardboard. Due to the differing types of cardboard, these rates may vary.

We can collect baled cardboard on our vehicle-mounted crane lorry, or for large regular tonnages we can supply a stand trailer. Loose cardboard can be collected via wheelie bins or skips on scheduled collections, or for ad-hoc collections we can also offer a tailored service.

Corrugated cardboard and paperboard are the two most common types of commercial-grade cardboard that should be recycled. This includes items such as storage boxes and dry, uncontaminated packaging. 

You should not attempt to recycle cardboard or paper that has been contaminated by grease or moisture. Waxed, painted and dyed cardboard, paper that uses chemicals in its production, and Tetrapaks are also not recyclable.

You should remove all the materials from within any large cardboard boxes before flattening them. Keep your recyclable cardboard dry and free from other contaminated products by baling it if you have large quantities or by storing it in a dedicated bin.

Your cardboard and paper items are sorted, shredded, screened and pulped. This pulp gets dried and pressed in a special facility, putting it back into manufacturing to be used in the creation of new products.
