Paper & Cardboard

Do you work in an office? at a school, manufacturer, distribution centre or retail site? SITA provides Paper & Cardboard collection services to all types of commercial and industrial sites.

Paper & Cardboard Recycling at a Glance

Paper & Cardboard is one of the simplest products to recycle and by maximising our reuse of this material we can all reduce the number of virgin trees being felled to create new products.

And with the rising cost of landfill, recycling your Paper & Cardboard makes perfect sense.

Collection Systems

Paper & Cardboard is collected in the following systems* which can be adapted to suit your site.

Rear Lift System
Front Lift System
Bulk: Roll-On/Roll-Off (RORO)
Compaction System

Acceptance Criteria

Accepted	Not Accepted

Office Recycling System

SITA offers complete source seperation and recycling services for offices that maximise resource recovery and recycling rates.

Other source seperation receptacles available for your office recycling system are:

60L Multisort bins
120L and 240L bins colour coded to Australian Standard for easy waste stream identification
Under desk and office floor boxes
Other recycling receptacles for recycling batteries, fluorescent tubes and globes

What happens after we've collected your Paper & Cardboard?

Paper & Cardboard that is collected by SITA or dropped off at one of our resource recovery centre's is screened, decontaminated, sorted and baled.

After the material has been baled it is then sent for reprocessing into new Paper & Cardboard products.
