I get that the collection of waste is expensive, so much so that you need a substantial tonnage of scrap cardboard to make any money. However, what the council have is a series of local, purpose built centres designed to accept and hold waste on a large scale.
If small businesses were given...
Tell them you just moved house and these are all the boxes from the move, that you have already recycled once by taking them from a local business.
Next week when you turn up with another van-load, just say "Yeah, I moved again"
Don't have an answer... but why the f*ck do the council get picky about the source of the cardboard they collect?
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but surely councils sell on the recyclable waste that they collect. I accept it may be just a few pence per ton or whatever, but surely cardboard is...
