There is no single price that fits every cardboard bale. Your quote reflects the material you have and the practical arrangements needed to collect it. A rebate may be possible, or a collection charge may apply.
If you want to sell cardboard bales or review your cardboard recycling prices, start by sharing your bale sizes, counts, photos and postcode. We assess your load and explain the terms before arranging collection.

How do we price your cardboard bales?
Two loads that look similar can involve different handling and transport requirements. These details help us give you a useful answer rather than an unrealistic headline price.
Rebates and charges, clearly explained
A material rebate is not guaranteed. The gross value of cardboard is not the same as your net return after collection and transport costs. We consider the whole collection, then confirm whether a rebate or a charge applies.
Any quantity can be assessed. A small load is not automatically rejected, but its collection terms will reflect the actual load and transport involved. We do not publish fixed bale values or live market rates.

What to send for a price
Send photos of the bales and the overall stored load. Include your postcode, bale counts, sizes, estimated total weight if known, condition and loading equipment.
A quote is an assessment of your collection, not an instant booking. Collection is arranged only once the terms and practical details are agreed.
