Sell Your Waste Plastic & Paper

We buy waste material, we don’t just charge to take it away

If your business produces waste plastic or paper, that material has a value. Acorn Recyclers buys it. Material comes into our own site in Leicestershire, is weighed in on our weighbridge, and is sorted, baled or granulated on our own plant.

We work with manufacturers, printers, packers, food producers, distribution centres and local authorities, from a single trial load through to regular scheduled collections. Whether your material is already baled or sitting loose in a yard, it is worth a conversation.

Tell us what you have and we will come back to you with a price.

What we buy

Plastics: LDPE, HDPE, PP, PVC, PS, PA, laminated and mixed grades. Film and rigids, wheelie bins, crates and other hard plastics.

Paper and board: cardboard, office paper, white paper, print paper, tissue and magazines.

We can take material baled, loose, granulated, palletised or in containers. If what you have is not on this list, ask anyway. We handle a wider range of streams than we can sensibly list here.

How it works

Tell us what you have: the material, roughly how much, how often it arises, and whether it is baled or loose. Photographs help.
We price it: based on the grade, the quality and the volume.
We collect: we arrange collection, or you can deliver into our Leicestershire site, whichever suits you better.
You get paid: against weighbridge tickets, with the paperwork you need for your own compliance reporting.
