Cardboard Recycling

Submitted by Juliet Hilary on Tue, 27/02/2007 - 13:19.

Hi All

 Just seen an ad in Fresh Produce Journal for collection of large quantities of waste cardboard for recycling by a company called Cardboard Connection.  They say [if you have large quantities of cardboard]...a guaranteed revenue for these waste streams collected anywhere in the UK can be achieved without any capital outlay". Contact is Spencer Robjant on 01638 664 517 or CardboardConnect@aol.com 

Could this be worth looking at as a solution to the cardboard disposal problem if one hasn't already been found?

Also, Cardboard Connect are listed on the Waste Book website, www.wastebook.org which gives lots of helpful recycling contacts for all manner of stuff and an interesting concise list of why to use biodiesel in the section on waste oil.

Best wishes, Juliet

Thanks for the information! I was searching for this kind of contacts. Every time I move I buy boxes for storing my belongings, at the end of the moving process a lot of them are deteriorated and cannot be used. So now i am stuck with piles of boxes and I am searching for a close recycling line to sent them.

Our Cardboard Recycling...

Thanks for this info Juliet.

At present we're permitted to use cardboard recycling facilities in Reading, if we don't dump our cardboard by full containers, and flatten all boxes before disposal.  In exchange, we remove, where retrievable, any non-cardboard/paper items dumped by uncaring folk.  (we've extracted carpet, wood, plastics, furniture, electrical items, toys, videos... you name it!!)

So although we have a medium quantity of waste cardboard for recycling, we don't have to pay a recycling fee.  If we were forced to pay for cardboard recycling, the cost at London Borough of Richmond Re-use & Recycling Centre (where our tetrapack recycling was accepted) is only £10 per van load, plus transport costs of course!
