How much paper and card do we collect?
In 2023/24 we collected about 6,850 tonnes of paper and card.
Where does your paper and food recycling go?
All the paper and card that we collect is taken to the DS Smith Kemsley paper mill in Kent where it is reprocessed into new cardboard packaging.
Did you know you could be receiving a delivery in a cardboard box made from recycling we collected only 14 days previously?
