Paper & Cardboard Recycling

Simplifying Waste Management with Fortress Recycling

Welcome to Fortress Recycling, where we're committed sustainability, we provide businesses with convenient and environmentally friendly options for disposing of recyclable materials. Let's explore how our Paper/Cardboard service can help you reduce waste, save money, and contribute to a greener future.

Paper & Cardboard

  • Last year the UK recycled around 5.6 million tonnes of paper, which is around 71% of the total paper and card consumed. This is the equivalent of 95 million trees.
  • At Fortress, our dedicated Paper/Cardboard collections couldn't be simpler. All of your waste paper and cardboard is placed in one container and we collect it at agreed intervals. It is then recovered to our state-of-the-art Materials Recovery Facility and baled.
  • These recovered paper/cardboard bales are used to make new products such as cardboard boxes, office paper, newspaper and hand towels.

FAQs About Paper/Cardboard Collections

  • What items can I include in Paper & Cardboard containers??


    Our Paper & Cardboard containers can be filled with any kind of paper and cardboard, provided it is clean and dry. 


  • How should I prepare my recyclables for Paper/Cardboard Recycling?

     Before placing materials in the Paper/Cardboard bin, ensure they are clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Flattening cardboard boxes will save space if required, but no need to remove the sticky tape. 


  • Can I recycle shredded paper in my Paper/Cardboard container?

    While shredded paper is recyclable, it's best to avoid placing it directly in the Paper/Cardboard bin. Shredded paper can easily become contaminated during the recycling process and may not be effectively sorted. Instead, consider composting shredded paper or using it as packing material. Alternatively contact us for a Shredded Paper collection service. 


  • Are there any restrictions on the size or weight of items I can place in the Paper/Cardboard Recycling bin?

    We have a range of container sizes and collection frequencies to suit your business requirements. All of our containers are microchipped so we are able to weigh them meaning you only pay for disposal based on your average weights. 



  • What happens to the materials collected through Paper/Cardboard Recycling?


    Once collected, the paper and cardboard waste is transported to our recycling facility where it undergoes sorting, processing, and recycling. Paper and cardboard is baled, then pulped and reformed into new paper products. This process helps to conserve resources and reduce waste sent to landfill.


  • How often will my Paper/Cardboard bins be collected?


    We offer flexible collection schedules to suit your needs, including daily, weekly, fortnightly. The frequency of collections can be tailored to your waste volume and business requirements. If you're unsure about the ideal collection schedule for your premises, our team can provide guidance based on your needs.
