Cardboard disposal for businesses in Bristol
Bristol's Clean Air Zone (CAZ) can increase commercial cardboard disposal costs because waste contractors using older, non-compliant vehicles often pass the additional fees onto their customers. By compacting cardboard in a baler, businesses in Bristol minimise waste volume and therefore require fewer waste collections which leads to lower overall costs.

Cardboard recycling: Bristol Council's new rules for businesses
Bristol Council recently introduced a new set of rules relating to how businesses store their commercial waste. The rules aim to make the city a nicer place for residents and visitors by reducing the number of commercial bins on the streets. Under the new rules, commercial premises in the Old City, Broadmead, Redcliffe and Temple Business districts must store their commercial waste at their own premises instead of storing it on public or council land.
Why should businesses in Bristol recycle using a baler?
Using a baler for recycling can help businesses to:
- Cut costs: Frequent waste collections due to low waste storage capacity at your premises carries an increased cost to businesses in the city. Baling recycling cuts the frequency that waste collections are needed helping businesses to reduce their expose to rising commercial bin costs.
- Aid compliance: Bristol council could take enforcement action when businesses do not adhere to their legal requirements or commercial waste presentation standards so it's important that businesses comply with recycling rules.
- Proven technology: Choose from a variety of cardboard compacting machines that are CE marked and tested to EN 16500:2014.
