Collection & Preparation

Our recycling collection services are generally paid. However, certain paper recycling options are available free of charge when materials are delivered directly to our facility. Fees depend on the service, location, material type and quantity. Contact us to find the most suitable option for your organization.

However, pickup is a paid service, and we encourage organizations to accumulate sufficient quantities to make each collection more cost-effective. Our team can recommend a suitable collection schedule based on your paper quantities, storage capacity and needs.
Can organizations arrange one-time or regular recycling collection?
Yes. Ommar El Ard offers on-demand and scheduled recycling collection services. Regular collection can be arranged every two weeks, monthly, every two months or quarterly, depending on your organization's material quantities and operational needs.
How should offices prepare paper for recycling?
Keep recyclable paper separate from food waste, liquids and other materials, and store it in a clean, dry place. Our team will guide your organization on suitable collection containers, preparation requirements and collection-point arrangements.
Can paper containing staples, folders or confidential information be recycled?
