Can't you try and get a local cardboard recycler to collect it cheaper ?
And this lot want a cut in tax
, at least carboard is light hopefully

Can you not spend £70 or so (my local price) to hire a large transit or box van and take it all to the local tip?
I hired a large skip (well 3 of them in the end) for £300. I think it was a 20 cu yd job.

In my area you can't take a van to the tip without being classed as a commercial vehicle and as such get charged for trade waste I hired a large skip (well 3 of them in the end) for £300. I think it was a 20 cu yd job.

A skip may be the cheaper option.

Around £140 but if you tell them its for clean cardboard and only a day I bet they'd do it far cheaper
As they will simply burn it at their yard hence no landfill charges.

This. Charges for skips can vary sometimes dramatically based on what you are going to put in them. Try some local skip companies and tell them what and how much you've got to put in it, they'll quote you on that, rather than a general quote.
Round our way, clean hardcore or just soil are classed as inert and will save you a bundle. But, a word of warning, you chuck just one bit of wood in it and you'll get charged as a standard skip!

Dont know if you have anybody who recycles cardboard by you, but a chap comes round our depo at work and collects all our cardboard everyweek.
Its great as it saves me filling the 2 bins we pay for up with all the cardboard we get!
Presumably he makes some money off it as he isnt council ran, private company I think!
