Commercial Recycling in Leicester
Recycling and waste management for Leicester businesses
Leicester’s food producers, textile and clothing firms, warehouses and retailers generate a lot of cardboard, paper and plastic packaging. Acorn Recyclers collects from businesses across the city and county and recycles at our own yard at Wymeswold, around 12 miles north of Leicester.
We sort and bale the material at our own site, which means fewer miles on every load and rebates on clean, separated grades.
What we collect in Leicester
- Cardboard from distribution centres, retail and food production
- Paper, office waste and print waste
- Polythene film, garment bags and stretch wrap
- Rigid plastics, crates, trays and wheelie bins
- Confidential paper for secure shredding
Collections that fit your site
We use RORO skips, curtain-side rigid lorries and articulated trailers, and can supply balers and compactors on hire for busy sites. Regular collections can be weekly, fortnightly or when your bales are ready.
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 these materials and baling them can turn a cost into a rebate. Start with a free waste audit.
Leicester recycling FAQs
Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?
Yes. Leicestershire is our home county, and we collect from Leicester and every town across the county.
Is there a minimum quantity?
Collections in Leicester 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.
