Collection Areas
Please Note:
- We will travel beyond this area for large jobs, particularly large clear outs of confidential waste.
- We can give approx times slots for pick-ups.
- These are our typical collection days, but please call to discuss your requirements.
- If you are planning to deliver to us, please ring to let us know in advance.
Accessibility:
On your collection day, your paper needs to be stored on the ground floor and be easily accessible to our driver. We are able to make collections from less accessible storage places (ie upper floors with no lift access or from cellars), but we may make an additional charge to cover the time taken. If your paper is in a cellar please make sure it is dry. Wet & mouldy paper is a health & safety problem.
