In detail

Give everyday office paper its own stream

Printouts, clean paper packaging, and other routine office paper can take up unnecessary space in residual waste. We arrange paper recycling collection for workplaces in London, with capacity and frequency based on office size, paper use, and available storage. A dedicated stream makes it easier for staff to separate ordinary recyclable paper from food, liquids and non-paper rubbish. Keeping the material clean supports more effective recycling and reduces the amount placed in general waste. We can coordinate paper rounds with other workplace waste collections where needed.

Keep confidential records clearly apart

Not every sheet of office paper belongs in standard recycling. Records containing personal, employee, financial, or commercially sensitive information require separate collection and transfer to our sister company for shredding. Clear bin labels and staff guidance can prevent confidential files from entering the routine paper stream by mistake. We assess expected paper volume, the rate at which containers fill, and access to the collection point before agreeing frequency. Food-stained paper and liquid contamination should also remain outside the recycling container.

What office paper is suitable for recycling?

Routine printouts and clean paper packaging can be suitable. Keep food, liquids, and non-paper rubbish out, and describe any unusual paper material when enquiring so we can discuss the correct stream.

Can confidential documents go into paper recycling?

No. Sensitive records need controlled collection and transfer for shredding by our sister company. Keep them clearly separated from everyday recyclable paper and tell us the volume requiring secure handling.

How often can office paper be collected?

We use office size, paper usage, storage capacity, and the rate at which containers fill to plan frequency. This may be coordinated with other workplace collections while keeping the paper stream physically separate.
