WASTELOGIC SERVICE

Cardboard, on its own line.

Dedicated handling for high-volume sites — cages, bins or bale-ready. Separated from general waste and reported on its own line, so it shows up clearly in your monthly report.

EVERY LIFT, ON THE RECORDThe easiest tonnes to divert.
RECOVERED, LAST 6 MONTHS▲ Out of the general bin
How it’s weighed: recorded separately at collection or consolidation — cardboard appears as its own line in the monthly report, not inside a recycling total.

A few habits keep the stream clean.

For many retail, hospitality and warehouse sites, separating clean cardboard is the simplest way to cut general-waste volume.

Cardboard questions, answered.

Do boxes need to be flattened?

Yes — flattening lets each cage or bin hold much more, which keeps collection frequency and cost down.

Can paper go in the same container?

Yes — clean paper and cardboard share the stream and are reported together on one line.

Do you supply cages?

Yes — we provide the cage, bin or bale-ready setup that suits your site.

Can you collect baled cardboard?

Yes — if you bale on site, we collect baled cardboard.

What happens to wet cardboard?

Keep it out — moisture contaminates the bale and can downgrade the load.

Is plastic wrap accepted?

No — remove shrink and pallet wrap; it isn't part of the cardboard stream.
