Paper Recycling
Collection Charge:
The waste paper collection service is charged at £24.00 per collection.
We can collect up to 20 sacks per collection, or no charge for recycling if you deliver it to us.
For no charge we can also provide you with:
- Re-usable sacks for your waste paper
- Wheeled bins of several sizes – free rental for frequent collection i.e. at least 6 weekly
OR Containers to help you collect waste paper in your offices. Such as:
Desk-tidy: A4 sized box to put on your desk-top for 60p each
Stand-alone bin: holds a sack inside it and is suitable next
to photocopiers for £3.60 each.

Cardboard Recycling
For cardboard we charge 1.20p per bundle or £3.60 per 240l wheeled bin. We can only take cardboard along with your paper recycling; we no longer do cardboard only collections.
STRICTLY NO PLASTIC
We are unable to process plastic.
Any plastic in our skips results in contamination, and incurs extra costs.
If any sacks /bags/ bins are collected that have plastic in them, we would have to return them to you and charge for our time and collection.

Archive Clear Outs
We are very flexible in meeting your requirements for collecting end-of-life, business archives and similar clear-outs.
The charge will depend on the amount and grade of the material, its accessibility and whether it needs confidential shredding or just recycling. Please call us on 01274 581775 to arrange a quote.
