How it works
- STEP 1
Send photographs
Snap the cardboard collection at your Ilfracombe address and send it on WhatsApp. Photographs are the single biggest factor in quote accuracy — the more you send, the tighter the fixed price.
- STEP 2
Receive a fixed price
We assess volume, weight and access, then confirm a written figure covering the agreed labour, transport and disposal requirements for your collection in Ilfracombe. Any change in scope is discussed before work continues.
- STEP 3
Choose your slot
Same-day, next-day, weekend and evening windows are offered subject to vehicle availability. You get a confirmed window rather than an all-day wait.
- STEP 4
We load and clear
The crew arrives with the correct vehicle, loads everything by hand, and sweeps up. The collected cardboard collection from Ilfracombe is weighed and documented at a licensed facility afterwards.
What affects the price
Cardboard Collection starts from £95. Your fixed price is confirmed once we have seen photographs.
- Access — stairs, long carries and restricted parking add labour time
- Timing — weekend, evening and emergency slots carry an uplift
- Location — travel beyond the included mileage is charged at the vehicle rate
- Volume — how much of the van the load actually fills
- Weight — dense material such as rubble, soil and concrete costs more at the gate
- Waste type — recycling routes are cheaper than general disposal

Cardboard Collection FAQs
Does flattening the cardboard reduce the price?
Substantially. Cardboard prices on volume, so flat-packed cardboard from a Ilfracombe shop can halve the van space it needs.
Can you handle confidential paperwork?
Not to a certified destruction standard. Use a shredding provider for anything covered by data protection obligations.
Why do you ask for photographs?
Because guessing is how customers get stung. Photographs let us size the Ilfracombe vehicle, crew and disposal route correctly, so the price we quote for your cardboard collection is the price you pay.
What happens to the waste after collection?
It goes to a licensed transfer station where it is separated. Recoverable material from Ilfracombe collections is recycled, and only the residual fraction goes to final disposal.
Do I need to be there?
Not always. If the cardboard collection is accessible from outside at the Ilfracombe property, we can collect with photographs, written instructions and payment agreed in advance.
Is this cheaper than hiring a skip in Ilfracombe?
Frequently. There is no permit to buy, no driveway lost for a week, and you only pay for the space the waste actually occupies. For small and medium cardboard collection loads in Ilfracombe, a wait-and-load collection usually wins on both price and speed.
Are you a licensed waste carrier?
Yes. Every Ilfracombe collection is carried out by a registered waste carrier and taken to a licensed facility. Waste transfer documentation is issued where duty of care applies.
Which Ilfracombe postcodes do you cover for cardboard collection?
Yes. Our cardboard collection covers the whole of Ilfracombe, including the EX34 postcode district around the town centre and the surrounding area. We also collect from neighbouring Barnstaple (9.4 miles), Lynton (13 miles) and Bideford (14 miles) — distances are straight-line from Ilfracombe. Send your postcode with photos on WhatsApp and we will confirm the fixed price before booking.

Moving as well as clearing in Ilfracombe?
Clearances often sit either side of a move. If you need the furniture that is staying taken to a new address in Ilfracombe, that is a removals job rather than a waste job — and it is priced separately.
