Yes, we collect commercial cardboard across Derby. Our team will organise an appropriate pick-up time with you before transporting it back to our secure depot.

As long as the food has been swept off and oil has not seeped into the cardboard, we are able to recycle it.

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 gasses, like methane into the atmosphere.
- Reduce future oil usage
- Reduce future electricity usage

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 use of a compliant and well-maintained fleet of transit vehicles.
