How it works
- STEP 1
Send photographs
Snap the cardboard collection at your Portland 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 Portland. 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 Portland 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.
- 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
- Access — stairs, long carries and restricted parking add labour time
- Timing — weekend, evening and emergency slots carry an uplift

Cardboard Collection FAQs
Does flattening the cardboard reduce the price?
Substantially. Cardboard prices on volume, so flat-packed cardboard from a Portland 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.
Do I need to be there?
Not always. If the cardboard collection is accessible from outside at the Portland property, we can collect with photographs, written instructions and payment agreed in advance.
Is this cheaper than hiring a skip in Portland?
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 Portland, a wait-and-load collection usually wins on both price and speed.
Are you a licensed waste carrier?
Yes. Every Portland 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.
Can you collect the same day in Portland?
Often, yes. Same-day cardboard collection in Portland depends on vehicle availability at the time you call. If we cannot reach you today we will say so rather than take the booking and let you down.
How much does cardboard collection cost in Portland?
Cardboard Collection in Portland starts from £95. The final figure depends on volume, weight and access. Send photographs on WhatsApp and we confirm a fixed price rather than an hourly guess.
Which Portland postcodes do you cover for cardboard collection?
Yes. Our cardboard collection covers the whole of Portland, including the DT5 postcode district around the town centre and the surrounding area. We also collect from neighbouring Weymouth (4.9 miles), Dorchester (12 miles) and Wareham (17 miles) — distances are straight-line from Portland. Send your postcode with photos on WhatsApp and we will confirm the fixed price before booking.

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