No. 1 for Cardboard Recycling
Cardboard Collection
Cardboard is one of the most common waste types that businesses produce regularly. It’s often used for packaging materials that are quickly thrown away after serving their purpose. Cardboard recycling collection with Business Waste offers a sustainable, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective way to get rid of your old cardboard responsibly.
It’s one of the easiest and most recycled materials. Segregating it from other waste types and arranging separate cardboard collections keeps it out of landfill, reduces the risk of contamination, and helps preserve the quality of its fibres. This ensures it can be reused to make new cardboard and paper products.
Save money on waste cardboard collection with free bins – there are no delivery or bin hire fees, you only pay for collection. Cardboard collection is available from businesses anywhere in the UK. Contact us online or call 0800 211 8390 or complete our online form for a fast and free quote today.

Regular and reliable
cardboard waste collection
Frequent waste cardboard collection from your business gets rid of it regularly. This prevents bins from overflowing, a build-up of rubbish on your site, or cardboard getting wet (which can decrease the quality of its fibres and recyclability). Schedule daily, weekly, or fortnightly cardboard removal to meet your needs.
Licensed waste carriers carry out every cardboard recycling collection so you can enjoy peace of mind that your waste is removed safely and legally. Combine a suitable frequency of removals with the best number, sizes, and types of bins to create cost-effective cardboard waste collection for your business.
For example, if your company generates lots of waste cardboard or you have limited storage space then you might want daily removals. Companies that produce low volumes could save money with larger bins but less frequent weekly or fortnightly cardboard collections.
Cardboard waste disposal
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 recycling
Waste cardboard is one of the easiest materials to recycle as it’s made from natural wood fibres. Used cardboard is shredded, mixed with water and chemicals, dried out, and processed to form fresh cardboard sheets. These are then used to create recycled cardboard products such as boxes and packaging.
Recycling cardboard is important for businesses as many industries produce huge volumes of the material. Our commercial cardboard recycling services offer your business a low-cost, sustainable, and simple solution. We cover all of the UK with local collections and services to help your company recycle cardboard with ease.
Waste cardboard is transported by licensed waste carriers to a nearby recycling centre, paper mill, or Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) for processing. Here the materials are sorted, checked, and recycled. Recycling commercial cardboard prevents adding to landfill levels or the pollution caused by incineration.

Types of cardboard waste
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.

Picture the scene, a hellhole of mess, card piled up the wazoo and nowhere to turn, we needed a solution and Business Waste was just that. We put out the tender for card collection and they came in under Biffa and Smurfit and sorted out a wheelie bin, collections were reliable and regular.Lewis Gibson
Upon the stunning realisation that this might take longer than the half life of Bismuth to get rid of our backlog, they were quick to swap the bins for a bigger one so I could get through our piles faster.
One day though, disaster struck, the collection didn’t happen, nor the next, nor indeed the week after. The binmen were on strike. Egads did I cry, what are we do?
We need a hero and Morgan Britton was that hero, riding in like Arwen to defeat the Ringwraiths, she fought with tenacity, keeping on top of the depot, holding on like a kitten to a ball of wool, updating not only daily, but sometimes hourly, checking if they’d been and chasing the depot tirelessly. Soon, the dragon was defeated and our bin was emptied and she kindly arranged for a new collection day to avoid the strike problems.
