Where does the paper and cardboard go to be sorted?
A. The paper and card collected will continue to be taken to the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) in Beighton to be sorted and graded before it is sent on to be recycled. The cardboard is sent to a board mill where it is pulped, pressed and rolled into cardboard linings used to reinforce boxes and packaging. Old newspapers and magazines are taken to paper mills were they are de-inked, pulped and pressed to create fresh paper for newsprint.
