Our paper recycling and cardboard recycling service is available to businesses all over Glasgow and the surrounding areas, up to Falkirk and Aberdeen. Scotland’s zero waste targets incentivise every Scottish business to recycle as much as they can. Our commercial recycling services will help you meet the highest environmental standards by providing paper and cardboard recycling from our depot in Bellshill.
Our cardboard & paper recycling service process
Our process for collecting your paper and cardboard recycling waste is really simple and hassle-free. We arrange a time and date for collection from your Glasgow location, either as a one-off or on a scheduled basis. We then collect the waste at the arranged time and date, emptying your wheelie bin or skip container. Once we collect the waste, we will transport it to our depot to be recycled, ensuring that none of the waste material will go to landfill.
Our paper recycling service starts with the secure shredding of your confidential documents, which we can carry out either on-site or at our depot. The shredded paper is then sorted, pulped, cleaned, and processed to remove ink and moisture. Finally, it’s formed into large rolls or tissue reels, ready to be reused in the production of new paper products.

Paper & cardboard recycling FAQs
Do you collect waste cardboard from my area?
Yes, we collect commercial cardboard across Glasgow. Our team will organise an appropriate pick-up time with you before transporting it back to our secure depot.
What other materials can you recycle?
In addition to paper and cardboard recycling, we offer a range of secure data destruction and recycling services in Glasgow. We securely destroy and recycle as much material from the products as possible to reduce landfill contributions. Our services include:
Can cardboard be recycled if it has been contaminated by food?
As long as the food has been swept off and oil has not seeped into the cardboard, we are able to recycle it.
How does the recycling process work?
All paper and cardboard that we shred is baled at our recycling depots and sent to an environmentally approved and accredited mill in the United Kingdom, where it's made into tissue products and new packaging material.
We can get through 320 tonnes of waste paper in a day at the Shredall SDS Group premises, and our mobile machines run at an output of 3,000kg per hour. That’s a lot of shredded paper, and recycling it helps to:
- Reduce future rainforest destruction
- Reduce energy consumption from the manufacture of new materials
- Reduce the amount of paper waste going to landfill
- Reduce the emission of harmful gases, like methane, into the atmosphere
- Reduce future oil usage
- Reduce future electricity usage

Do you have any environmental accreditations?
Yes! Shredall SDS Group is ISO 14001-certified, demonstrating our commitment to continual improvement in environmental best practice and the prevention of pollution.
Our yearly audits for this accreditation also take into account our other work beyond recycling, such as our PAS 2060 Carbon Neutrality Certification and use of a compliant and well-maintained fleet of transit vehicles.
