Paper Round: CardboardHow to Recycle Cardboard

Paper Round recycles all types of cardboard, either loose or baled. Please note that loose cardboard should be bundled or otherwise contained so that we can easily remove it. We collect it in one of three ways, depending on the volume of cardboard you produce.

Use our blue sacks for small amounts or bundle it with tape. A bundle is something that our driver can carry under one arm. A blue sack holds around one and a half bundles.

Members with a regular stream of waste card can pre-purchase special tape. Each roll is enough to secure around fifty bundles of card and costs £48 - less than £1 per bundle.

Members can also hire roll cages for £1.25 a week, if you want to store large amounts of cardboard ready for collection. Roll cages should be stored on the ground floor so that they can be pushed to our vehicle. 

What We Do

Paper Round normally collects cardboard along with your office paper weekly, fortnightly or On Demand. Larger producers of cardboard can specify their collection frequency and will have it collected separately.

Where Does Your Cardboard Go?

Cardboard is baled and then made back into packaging materials and cardboard at a number of mills in the UK, often in the North West and North East of England.

 
Do's and Dont's Cardboard

Do remember that the driver should be able to carry a bundle under one arm.

Don't worry about removing staples and tape - they're not a problem.

Did You Know?

Manufacturing new cardboard uses 25% more energy than it does when recycling. Millions of tonnes of bulky cardboard is used in the UK each year.

Unrecycled cardboard ends up in landfill or is incinerated, which generates unnecessary air pollution.

Cardboard is highly recyclable and can be efficiently made into boxes for packaging and shipping.
