Reliability, Responsiveness, Respect & Compliance

Paperchasers is an award winning environmental B2B business providing high quality and affordable ethical office recycling services across Birmingham and the surrounding area.  The company was set up by the winner of the West Midlands NES Entrepreneur of the Year Award 2007 to provide customer-driven bespoke recycling solutions.  All materials are recycled as close to the source of production as possible in order to ensure a net carbon reduction.

Our team comprises recycling industry specialists with Chartered Waste Manager and Chartered Environmentalist status with over 30 years combined expertise in customer service, operational and transport logistics and recycling business development.

We are fully compliant with Duty of Care regulations and are currently the only recycling business in the West Midlands authorised to use the official 'Recycle At Work' branding which appears on our Recycling Point Posters and Membership Certificates, aimed at encouraging maximum recycling rates.

In partnership with us, your organisation will reduce its waste management costs, comply with increasingly demanding legislation, encourage a culture of continuous improvement  and make a positive social and environmental impact. 


Paperchasers systems are not time consuming.  They are simple and affordable.  Our main service is office paper/card recycling and we can provide you with all the equipment you will need:
  • No need to separate different grades of waste paper -   all your waste paper and card can be recycled  together in one single paper waste stream thereby allowing maximum participation amongst staff from a 'simple to use system.'
  • No hidden costs - there are no hidden extras like contamination fines and you will only pay for the products and services which you have received. 
  • We offer 3 month trial contracts so that you can test that our service standards meet your needs before committing to a  Full 12 month contract.
  • Prices are fixed for the recycling of mixed paper for full term of your contract 
  • A range of other materials can also be recycled in addition to your paper. Your empty printer and laser cartridges and mobile phones will be collected and recycled free of charge.
  • A full range of containers and bins can be provided - please see our Bins & Prices page for more details.
  • Larger offices and schools -  we can supply wheelie bins and collect them from anywhere on your premises, either indoors or outdoors. 
  • Tree adoption - should you decide to continue recycling with us beyond your 3 month trial, we will plant a tree and dedicate it to your organisation through our  our chosen Community Forest partner.  You will receive a certificate from them, along with a 'Certificate of Environmental Commitment' from us.


Other services  include :

  • 'One Sack Recycling' scheme :  This system compliments our 'Classic Recycling' system for source segregated materials.  We supply clear printed recycled content refuse sacks for you to recycle a maximum of 10 kg of mixed, non-hazardous materials in each sack.  The full sacks are transferred to a local Materials Recycling Facility for sorting and recycling. You can recycle all your  cans, tins, foil, mixed plastics and glass bottles & jars together in the one sack.

  • One off site clearances can be provided on the same or next day, or during out-of-office hours if required.  Please contact us for detais.

  • Confidential shredding :  Our rates are highly competitive  and Certificates of Destruction are provided.  Your materials will be transferred in an alarmed vehicle to the ISO 9002 accredited shredding facility which holds membership to the UKSSA (United Kingdom Security Shredding Association) and the BSIA (British Security Industry Association).  The documents will be shredded under CCTV in a fully enclosed and secure environment and sent for  recycling in UK paper mills. Witnessed shredding and visits to the  depot in can be arranged upon request.

  • We can empty individual communal paper recycling bins around your office

  • Recycling Performance Reports :  including details of the amount you have recycled & the subsequent environmental improvement your organisation will have made. This service is invaluable for those companies seeking or maintaining ISO14001 accreditation. 

    If you are unsure about the type and level of service you require, contact us for a free, no obligation consultancy or request your free copy of our e-book 'How to set up a new office recycling scheme.
