Commercial Recycling in Lincoln
Recycling and waste management for Lincoln businesses
Lincoln’s engineering firms, food manufacturers, distributors and retailers all produce cardboard, paper and plastic packaging that shouldn’t be paid for as general waste. Acorn Recyclers collects from businesses across the city, from Teal Park and the estates along the A46 to sites in the centre, and recycles the material at our own yard at Wymeswold in Leicestershire.
Lincolnshire is one of the five counties where most of our customers are based, so Lincoln collections fit in with our regular East Midlands routes. We process everything ourselves, with no broker in the middle, and pay rebates on clean, well-separated grades.
What we collect in Lincoln
- Cardboard from food production, engineering and distribution
- Paper, office waste and print waste
- Polythene film, shrink wrap and pallet wrap
- Rigid plastics, crates, trays and end-of-life wheelie bins
- Confidential paper for secure shredding
Collections that fit your site
We collect using RORO skips, curtain-side rigid lorries and articulated trailers. For sites that produce cardboard or film every day, a baler on hire turns loose waste into bales that are cheaper to move and worth more to us. Collections can be regular or arranged when you’re full.
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.
Lincoln recycling FAQs
Do you cover the rest of Lincolnshire?
Yes. Alongside Lincoln we collect from businesses right across the county. See our Lincolnshire recycling page for more.
Is there a minimum quantity?
Collections in Lincoln 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.
