Keep Cardboard Dry

Store cardboard in a covered, dry location before loading. Avoid exposing it to rain, water or other liquids.

Flatten Your Boxes

Break down and flatten cardboard boxes to maximise available bin space and improve loading efficiency.

Separate Other Materials

Remove plastic wrap, foam, metal straps, food waste and other non-cardboard materials before placing cardboard in the bin.

Don't Overfill

Keep all cardboard level with or below the top edge of the skip bin. Overfilled bins cannot be safely transported and may not be collected.
