Free Guide: Cardboard Recycling Bin Services

Cardboard is one of the cheapest and most effective waste streams to recycle. For businesses, dedicated cardboard recycling services can cut disposal costs, free up space, and improve sustainability. Waster has created a free downloadable guide to help you choose the right cardboard recycling service for your business.

✅ What the Free Guide Covers

  • What can and can’t go in cardboard bins – including clean cardboard, paperboard, and what to avoid (like food-contaminated or wax-coated cardboard).

  • Bin size options – from 240L wheelie bins to 4.5m³ front lift bins and cardboard cages for bulky packaging.

  • Cost savings explained – why cardboard recycling is cheaper than general waste.

  • Best practices – flattening boxes, keeping them dry, and avoiding contamination.

  • Service flexibility – choosing the right collection frequency for your waste volumes.


❌ What the Free Guide Does Not Cover

  • General rubbish disposal – nappies, food, plastics, and liquids belong in general waste.

  • Hazardous waste – chemicals, paints, and medical waste require specialist services.

  • Non-cardboard recycling – plastics, cans, and bottles should go into commingled bins instead.

  • Stay sustainable – learn how your cardboard is recycled into new products.

  • Choose confidently – get clear advice on bin sizes, collection schedules, and service options.
