Business Cardboard Recycling Services

Recycling is the most responsible and sustainable method of cardboard disposal. Many types of cardboard are recyclable as long as their fibres are of a good enough quality. At Business Waste, we dispose of all cardboard waste we collect away from landfill and recycle as much as possible.

You receive a free duty of care certificate (or waste transfer note) that provides proof your commercial cardboard waste was collected and disposed of legally. This is a legal requirement and should include details about the type and quantity of waste, the transfer of cardboard waste, and the disposal site.

Benefit from cost-effective and responsible cardboard waste disposal with Business Waste. We provide free bins with no delivery or rental charges – you just pay for collection. Fill them up with clean and dry cardboard that is disposed of via recycling rather than rotting in landfill.

Cardboard waste is any used item made from heavy-duty, thick, or multi-layered sheets of stiff paper. As the material is similar to paper, it’s easily recyclable as it’s made of fibres previously processed from trees. Common examples of waste cardboard that businesses produce include packaging, delivery boxes, and old storage boxes.

Commercial cardboard waste needs to be clean and dry. Recycling wet cardboard or dirty boxes is difficult, as it contaminates and weakens the fibres and material. Unfortunately, this means wet and dirty cardboard often ends up as general waste – often going to landfill or being incinerated.

Common types of cardboard waste you can recycle include:

• Corrugated cardboard – made from an inside and outside liner and ruffled fluting.
• Paperboard – a thicker form of paper, used for juice and milk cartons.
• Cardboard tubes – circular packaging often for posters and other items.
• Parcels and packaging – online delivery boxes that protect their contents.
• Storage boxes – great for moving home, office, or storing items.
• Food packaging – cereal, egg, biscuit boxes, and more.
