For the last three years we have used diced cardboad and been really pleased, its consistent, good quality and stable (no oun intended!) in price.
We operate our own haulage so have been fortunate enough to be able pick up a full artic load (16 pallets of 30) which has been returning empty back to our depot.
Rang to book our usual order and have been told that prices have now risen 50p a bale.
This means that inlcluding haulage they are now comparable to shavings.
I have rung another supplier and been told that their prices have risen as well pretty much in-line with current supplier.
It's recycled cardboard so I fail to see in our current wasteful society how costs could have risen so much!
So I was looking into alternatives and wondered if anyone could reccomend shaving suppliers who will sell in bulk or the dreaded wood pellets which I am loathe to try but feel we have no option so am going to have to bite the bullet!
Any suggestions would be welcome
