Recycling cardboard in Wakefield avoids boxes, sheets, and packaging from ending up in landfill, helping keep the West Yorkshire city green. Wakefield Council provides households with brown recycling bins to recycle cardboard, but businesses must arrange collection by licensed waste carriers. At Divert we provide cardboard waste collections in Wakefield.
We offer free bins to store your waste cardboard – simply pay for collection. All cardboard waste is recycled and diverted away from landfill, including both types of paperboard (thin cardboard like cereal boxes) and corrugated cardboard (thicker and more durable for packaging).

How commercial cardboard recycling works in Wakefield
Request a free quote for cardboard waste collection tailored to the number and size of bins you need, where you want them collected from in Wakefield, and how frequently. If you’re happy with the price then we’ll deliver your free bins and book your regular collection days and times.
Put your cardboard waste in each bin and ensure you stick within any weight limits. Then move them to the agreed and accessible collection point ahead of the removal day and time. One of our purple trucks with a licensed waste carrier behind the wheel will come to remove and replace your cardboard recycling bins.
Then they’ll drive them to a nearby waste transfer station for checking and sorting. The cardboard will be moved to a recycling centre where it’s separated by grade and shredded to start the recycling process. Water is added to create a pulp, which is filtered, dried, and rolled into sheets to form fresh cardboard.

Local recycling centres in Wakefield
Wakefield residents can recycle most cardboard in their brown recycling bins at home. However, you can take large cardboard boxes, sheets, and excess waste cardboard to three main household waste recycling centres (HWRCs) – Wakefield, Glasshoughton, and South Kirkby HWRCs. It’s free for residents to dispose of any domestic cardboard at any site.
You need proof of address or a permit and can visit in a car. If you use a commercial vehicle (van, pickup, or minibus) or a trailer bigger than 6ft x 4ft, you’ll require a commercial vehicle permit. Businesses cannot recycle any commercial cardboard waste at any Wakefield HWRC.
