Any type of paper

The contents of lever arch files, ring binders and any type of folders, architects and engineers drawings up to A0 folded, rolled or open, A3/A4/A5, Foolscap, Quarto and other old sizes, continuous computer printouts/stationery A3 size and just about anything else you can think of.

You do not need to remove paper from files or binders unless you wish to re-use them. Similarly paper clips and staples need not be removed. We separate out any plastics that may contaminate the paper stream for recycling.

Paper does need to be dry.

Electronic Media

Although outdated, there are still probably 10's of millions of floppy discs out there, all containing readable data.

Floppy discs, CDs, USBs, all sorts of back up tapes including Ultrium, VHS and mini cassettes and of course hard drives can be shredded. Any metal content is recycled.
