Default Any ideas what to do with my card and paper?

I have a lot of card building up in my warehouse. We re-use most of our boxes but obviously if they are damaged we can't. We shred most paper & envelopes and use as filler in our packages.

I am not allowed to re-cycle my card & paper because my business is too small for the council to collect it. I cannot put it out with my domestic re-cycling and I cannot take it down the tip (although I do take a bit down but don't want to get suspicious)

The council say I should throw it away with the rest of my rubbish but I cannot bring myself to do that (we don't have a lot of rubbish anyway).

Any suggestions?

You could try freecycling it - i know people use it to mulch in allotments and also shredded as rabbit bedding.

you could try contacting local business' like booksellers etc, they are always looking for packaging, you could maybe set up a system where you/they collect it monthly etc
