If you’re reviewing budgets this time of year, waste costs are usually one of those “it is what it is” line items. They don’t have to be.
Right now, iData Destruction’s cardboard recycling service starts from a special price of £8 per week — that’s 30% off — and it’s an easy win for businesses that want to cut costs and improve their recycling and sustainability performance.
Why cardboard should never be in general waste
When cardboard goes into your general waste stream, you’re effectively paying twice:
- You pay to have it collected as general waste
- You miss out on a cheaper, cleaner recycling route
Cardboard is bulky, light, and constant — which makes it one of the biggest drivers of overflowing bins and unnecessary collections.
The budget-friendly fix: separate your cardboard
Separating cardboard from general waste is one of the simplest ways to reduce waste costs without changing how your business operates.
Here’s what typically happens when you split it out:
- Fewer general waste collections (or smaller general waste bins)
- Less overflow and fewer “extra” collections
- Cleaner waste streams (which helps with compliance and sustainability reporting)
A simple step toward your recycling and sustainability goals
More customers, suppliers, and teams are asking the same question: “What are we doing about waste?”
Cardboard recycling is a practical, visible improvement you can implement quickly. It supports:
- Recycling targets
- Sustainability commitments
- Cleaner site operations
- A more responsible brand story (without greenwashing)
