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 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
