How it works
- STEP 1
Send photographs
Snap the cardboard collection at your Torpoint 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 Torpoint. 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 Torpoint 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.
- 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
- Location — travel beyond the included mileage is charged at the vehicle rate

Clean, dry cardboard and paper. Confidential document destruction requires a certified shredding provider, not a general carrier.
All waste is collected by registered waste carriers and taken to licensed facilities. Waste transfer documentation is provided where applicable.
Cardboard Collection FAQs
Does flattening the cardboard reduce the price?
Substantially. Cardboard prices on volume, so flat-packed cardboard from a Torpoint 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.
Can you collect the same day in Torpoint?
Often, yes. Same-day cardboard collection in Torpoint 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 Torpoint?
Cardboard Collection in Torpoint 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 Torpoint 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 Torpoint 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 Torpoint collections is recycled, and only the residual fraction goes to final disposal.
Which Torpoint postcodes do you cover for cardboard collection?
Yes. Our cardboard collection covers Torpoint and its PL2, PL1, PL10, PL11 and PL5 postcode districts. We also collect from neighbouring Saltash (2.3 miles), Plymouth (2.4 miles) and Callington (10 miles) — distances are straight-line from Torpoint. Send your postcode with photos on WhatsApp and we will confirm the fixed price before booking.

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