Commercial Recycling in Hinckley
Recycling and waste management for Hinckley businesses
Hinckley’s position on the A5 and M69 has made it a major logistics location, with warehouses at Dodwells Bridge and Harrowbrook alongside the manufacturing and textile businesses the town has long been known for. All of them generate cardboard, film and plastic that can be recycled.
Acorn Recyclers collects from businesses across Hinckley, Burbage and Earl Shilton and recycles the material at our own yard at Wymeswold. Leicestershire is our home county, and because we process everything ourselves we can pay rebates on clean, separated grades.
What we collect in Hinckley
- Cardboard from distribution, manufacturing and retail
- Polythene film, garment bags and stretch wrap
- Plastic crates, trays, totes and pallets
- Paper, office waste and print waste
- Confidential paper for secure shredding
Collections that fit your site
We collect with RORO skips, curtain-side rigid lorries and articulated trailers. Sites with steady volumes of cardboard or film can have a baler or compactor on hire, which means fewer collections and a better price per tonne.
Turn packaging waste into income
If you’re paying a general waste contractor to take away cardboard and film, you may be throwing money away. Separating cardboard, plastics and paper and baling them can turn a cost into a rebate. Start with a free waste audit.
Hinckley recycling FAQs
Do you cover the rest of Hinckley and Bosworth?
Yes. We collect from Hinckley, Burbage, Earl Shilton, Market Bosworth and across Leicestershire. See our Leicester page for more on our home county.
Is there a minimum quantity?
Collections in Hinckley are arranged around what your site produces. Baled material, or a full skip or trailer, gives the best price per tonne. For sites outside the East Midlands, loads generally need to be around 5 tonnes or more.
Do you pay for cardboard and plastic?
We pay rebates on good, clean, separated grades. The rate depends on the material, quantity and market prices at the time, and we confirm it before we collect.
Do you collect general waste or single wheelie bins?
No. We don’t run refuse vehicles, so we can’t empty general waste bins or collect single bags. We focus on recyclable materials collected by skip, rigid lorry or trailer. We can also take confidential paper for secure shredding.
