Acorn Recyclers has been recycling paper for over 50 years. We collect office paper, print waste and mixed paper from businesses across the East Midlands, and from anywhere in the UK for larger loads, and bale it at our own site for UK paper mills.

FAQs About Paper Recycling Services
Do you offer one-off or regular collections?
Yes, we offer both one-off site clearances and scheduled collections, depending on your needs.
Is my business too small to recycle paper with Acorn?
Not if you are in the East Midlands. Further afield, it depends on the size of the load.
Can you recycle confidential paperwork?
Yes, we also offer secure shredding services for confidential paper waste, complete with certification.
Do I need to separate different types of paper before collection?
We recommend keeping paper waste as clean and dry as possible. While we can collect mixed paper grades, separating white office paper from coloured or printed materials can help improve the value and recyclability of your waste.
Can you collect paper recycling from multiple business locations?
Yes. We work with multi-site businesses across the UK and can create a centralised or location-specific collection plan to suit your operational structure.
Is there a minimum volume required for paper collection?
Locally in the East Midlands we can work with most volumes. Further afield, loads generally need to be around 5 tonnes or more.
Can we include envelopes, sticky notes, or paper with staples?
Yes, most types of everyday office paper are recyclable. Items like envelopes and paper with staples or paperclips are generally acceptable. Heavily laminated or wax-coated papers may need separate handling, and we can advise on this during your audit.
