Types of cardboard waste

Businesses across Durham produce large volumes of cardboard waste every day. From the centre of Durham out to Chester-le-Street, Newton Aycliffe, and Consett, organisations rely on effective recycling systems to manage packaging, shipping materials, and cardboard waste responsibly.

Typical sources of recyclable cardboard include:

  • Retailers with high packaging turnover
  • Offices disposing of document boxes and packaging
  • Restaurants and cafés with regular supply deliveries
  • Warehouses and manufacturing plants with bulk shipments

All cardboard, from corrugated boxes to flat-packed cartons, can be collected and recycled through our efficient service. Recycling prevents unnecessary landfill use and reduces carbon emissions linked to waste transport and disposal. Businesses benefit from a cleaner workspace, improved sustainability credentials, and lower waste management costs.

Durham Waste helps companies of all sizes identify the best recycling solutions for their cardboard, supporting compliance with waste regulations and promoting long-term environmental responsibility.
