Your Responsibility Prior To The Move
Box Collection Service
Boxes are provided on a loan basis. Wherever possible we recycle materials in accordance
with our environmental policy. We will collect empty flat boxes subject to our vehicle
schedules, provided the boxes are kept clean and dry. We are unable to collect the waste
paper. As an added convenience we can supply heavy duty plastic bags for flat packed
cartons in order to keep them dry. This will enable our staff to make the collection when you
are out.
Collections are only available in regularly serviced areas within East Anglia. For areas outside East Anglia we ask that you recycle at your local council facility or call a local BAR remover who may wish to collect the boxes. We can arrange for the collection of cartons (in our heavy duty bags) from outside of designated areas but this would be subject to additional costs.
