    Cardboard collection

    Does anyone know if there are any companies that will come out to your house to collect bulk cardboard? We have a rather large collection of cardboard that we need to get rid of and our area doesn't do bulk collection (or hard garbage collection). They give you vouchers to take it to the recycling centre, but we don't have a trailer and would prefer not to have to hire one. It would be much easier if someone would just come out to collect it for us. Lazy much? Lol!

    Would it be able to be reused? Maybe a school could use it for art and craft or a community group for something?

    Unfortunately it's not reusable. It's mostly boxes from when we moved that are either still boxes, or have been cut up into smaller pieces to take up less room. We got a quote from a rubbish skip company and they wanted to charge us $270! No thank you!

    Fingers crossed there is a company that can take it for free (or cheap) that can recycle it.

    there are places that do cardboard - they come and give you a big stand and a hessian sack and then collect it.
    I can't remember their names though, we used to use them at work (most restaurants have them) you can ring the garbage collectors and they should be able to give you number.
    Sorry I cant be more help!

    Oooh! Thanks!!

    We actually have a company that comes and collects cardboard from our work (in the hessian sack like you mentioned) and I completely forgot about them! I've sent them an email to see if they will collect from a residential address on a single occasion. I hope they say yes!

    If they are removals boxes and still intact you could onsell them/sell back to a removals company.
