How it works
- STEP 1
Send photographs
Snap the cardboard collection at your Small Heath 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 Small Heath. 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 Small Heath 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 Small Heath 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.
How much does cardboard collection cost in Small Heath?
Cardboard Collection in Small Heath 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.
Can you handle difficult access?
Yes. Stairs, lifts, long carries, narrow lanes and permit bays are all workable at Small Heath properties — we just need to know in advance so the right crew and vehicle are sent.
Why do you ask for photographs?
Because guessing is how customers get stung. Photographs let us size the Small Heath 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 Small Heath 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 Small Heath property, we can collect with photographs, written instructions and payment agreed in advance.
Which Small Heath postcodes do you cover for cardboard collection?
Yes. Our cardboard collection covers the whole of Small Heath, including the B10 and B11 postcode districts around the town centre and the surrounding area. We also collect from neighbouring Sparkbrook (0.6 miles), Bordesley Green (0.9 miles) and Sparkhill (1 miles) — distances are straight-line from Small Heath. Send your postcode with photos on WhatsApp and we will confirm the fixed price before booking.

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