Recycling is essential for environmental sustainability, by recycling paper we reduce deforestation and protect trees. We are also saving a significant amount of water and other natural resources including energy, as the process of recycling paper also requires lower energy consumption.
The world loses almost six million hectares of forest each year to deforestation. In terms of climate change, cutting trees both adds carbon dioxide to the air and removes the ability to absorb existing carbon dioxide.
We will collect your paper and cardboard recycling container at regular times designated by you. Materials should be placed loose in the bins, or cardboard bundles, not in the plastic bags please.
We cater for any size business and offer the following range of bin sizes for cardboard and paper recycling:
If your business does not have the space for a cardboard and paper bin, we can collect bundles of paper and cardboard directly from your premises, get in touch to find out more.

Paper and cardboard is collected and then separated into types and grades to be recycled. All paper waste needs to be washed in order to remove any impurities such as glue, ink or film. Once washed the paper is mixed with water to create a pulp, which is then pressed, dried and rolled into large thin sheets of recycled paper.
