How Our Man with a Van Service Works

Book your removal

Firstly, you will need to book your collection online and give our team an idea as to how much waste will need to be removed.

You do not need to worry about providing a completely accurate measurement but a guided estimate will assist the team in preparation for collection.

Waste assessment

On your collection day, we will conduct a waste assessment in order to provide an accurate price for your removal service.

Goodbye, rubbish!

You do not need to be present on your collection day, however, providing easy access to the waste is important for our team.

Our rubbish clearance specialists will enter your premises and begin to remove the waste, leaving your home or site spotless.

Evidence

We will take photographic evidence of before and after pictures, as well as keep a record of what exactly was removed and any information that you should be aware of.

The Benefits of Recycling Waste Paper and Cardboard

Environmental Benefits

The environmental benefits of recycling waste paper and cardboard are massive.

One major benefit of recycling waste paper and cardboard is that it means that there is one less unnecessary item taking up space at the Landfill; a site that is seriously threatening to our ecosystem.

By reducing the amount of waste at the Landfill, this has the positive effect of reducing greenhouse gas emissions which contributes to air pollution and climate change.

Job Opportunities

Recycling starts with you but it doesn’t end the moment you put your recyclable waste into the recycling bin.

From that moment, recyclable waste is transported to recycling facilities where a significant amount of labour is used to organise and process it.

Recycling creates jobs and with more jobs, comes more stability for our economy and livelihoods.

So Many Uses

Think about how many things we use cardboard for and how many everyday items are made using cardboard.

Cardboard has so many uses for items such as cereal boxes, paper towels etc.

Recycling saves energy

Making new paper from recycled paper uses 70% less energy than making paper from pulp.

Recycled cardboard stays durable

Recycled cardboard doesn’t lose its durability even after it has been recycled, making it a great material to put to good use.

Cardboard is biodegradable

Corrugated cardboard will have degraded completely within a year and can degrade even faster if faced with harsh weather conditions.

Our Recycling Facilities

At WasteCo, we are proud of our 17-acre on-site waste disposal and recycling facilities, where we organise and separate any waste materials we collect into recyclable and non-recyclable waste.

We have a ‘zero to landfill’ goal and do everything in our power to minimise any negative impact on the environment.

How is cardboard recycled?

The process of recycling cardboard can vary but in general, the key processes stay consistent.

As not all cardboard material is the same, due to different materials and processes being used for different pieces of cardboard, it must be properly sorted.

As part of the recycling process, cardboard is then shredded, pressed, rolled, mixed with water and converted.
