RESPONSIBLE RECYCLING
Here at Highlander, we offer a responsible waste paper recycling service, collecting things like old corrugated containers and packaging (OCC), Newspapers (NEWS), Periodicals and Magazines (PAMS), multi-grade printing waste, sorted office waste and solid board cuttings.
All paper and cardboard recycling materials collected are either returned to our East Kilbride Recycling Centre or supplied directly to our network of approved paper mills to be turned into brand-new paper or cardboard products. Making paper products from waste paper recycling is far more energy-efficient than simply disposing of it and helps to protect the environment.
As sustainable paper-based packaging becomes more popular, most companies now generate some cardboard and paper packaging as well as waste paper in their daily operations. With daily collections throughout Scotland and a large fleet of vehicles at our disposal, we can provide a flexible service to suit your recycling needs.
There is no minimum quantity for collections, and we are sure you will find our prices to be very competitive across all paper grades and loose and baled cardboard.

HOW YOU CAN IMPROVE THE WASTE PAPER RECYCLING PROCESS
-
Give us paper or cardboard recycling materials that are as dry as possible. Some moisture can be tolerated in certain grades, but this is usually around a maximum of 10%.
​
-
Bales of paper or cardboard of any grade should be secured by a minimum of four wires to preserve the bale’s integrity.
​
-
Try and keep paper separate from cardboard, corrugate and boards as this helps retain better values.
​
-
Waste paper should be free from contaminants such as metal, plastic, glass, textiles, wood, sand, building materials, synthetic materials, synthetic papers etc. All-cause delays and problems in the recycling process, resulting in lower values for your recycling products, avoid these as much as possible to maximise profits
