About Us
About Us
- Brighton Paper Round started trading in February 2011 as a joint venture between local recycling pioneers Magpie and London’s ethical recycling company Paper Round. Our aim is to build on the success of Magpie, offering a high-quality recycling and waste collection service which is reliable, friendly and totally environmental.
- We are local. We employ local staff and we have our own sorting facility based in Brighton, so by recycling with us you can be confident that you are supporting the local economy by working with a company who knows the area.
- Brighton Paper Round is part of BPR Group Europe. BPR reduce the environmental impact of the waste our clients produce, the energy they consume and the stationery they buy. BPR's services are practical, cost effective and tailored to meet each client's needs. More information on BPR Group is available at www.bprgroup.co.uk
- Magpie started out in 1990 as a group of volunteers collecting paper, cans and glass from businesses in Brighton and are partners in Brighton Paper Round. They also continue to operate a green-box kerbside recycling collection for local householders and Shabitat, the famous furniture and textile re-use shop.

Brighton Paper Round supports the Campaign for Real Recycling. Recycling is only worthwhile if the material we collect can be made back into something worthwhile. This can only happen if the material is kept clean and usable:
- Office paper mixed with cardboard, plastics and glass can only be recycled back into low grade paper products, normally in China.
- Office paper collected by Brighton Paper Round is turned back into copier paper in France.
- Glass collected with paper and glass is crushed and can only be used as a type of aggregate to make roads and the like. This saves no CO2 and it would be cheaper and better for the environment if you simply threw it away.
- Glass collected by Brighton Paper Round is made back into glass bottles in the UK.
