Our Local council is making noises in the cardboard collection direction

Phone yours up and ask

My Council is happy to deliver several recycling bins if needed.
Into these we can put a mixture of cardboard, paper, tins, glass and
plastic bottles. Clearly they are able to sort out everything
automatically. So the technogy is clearly now available, in first
world countries!

Depend son the council as to how they do it, ours all goes in one bin
and is then taking to a sorting place, others it's more separate bins.

and this is for commercial collection, which isn't the same as for
domestic waste.
