Commercial Cardboard Recycling Setup 2025
Why It Pays
Cardboard is high-volume and low-contamination. Right-sizing recycling often lowers trash pulls and total cost.
Program Design
- Baler vs. cart/toter service; staging areas near docks
- Train staff; clear signage; contam control (plastic wrap/strapping)
Costs & Revenue
Monthly subscription vs. rebate programs; depends on commodity markets and bale quality/weight.
Reporting
Request monthly tonnage reports; set diversion targets; audit periodically.
