How to make money from cardboard waste

Learn more about how you can turn cardboard waste from your business into a revenue stream.

Selling cardboard bales

It’s a well-known fact that businesses produce a lot of waste. And many companies invest enormous sums of money in the annual collection of cardboard waste, and others even look for more creative alternatives, such as burning it. However, these methods are not environmentally friendly and not cost-effective.

However, by selling your cardboard waste to a recycling firm, you can reduce the expense of waste management and guarantee that all cardboard waste is handled correctly. Rather than incurring costs associated with waste collection, you can make money from it !

If you plan to accomplish this, you must first ascertain who is interested in purchasing recycled cardboard, how much you can charge for it, and also how to prepare cardboard for recycling.

How much money can you make recycling cardboard?

Many companies are not aware that there is value in cardboard waste, and others sell the cardboard loose. But to put it simply; if you own a business that constantly produces cardboard waste, it’s possible to make an actual profit out of it.

If your cardboard waste is compressed into bales, the majority of paper and cardboard recycling companies will give you a higher payment. If the cardboard is already in a bale, recycling it is simpler and thus results in a better price for you because it saves time. So, how much is a bale of cardboard worth? The value or price of a bale of cardboard can fluctuate considerably, and will only get the correct price by contacting a local cardboard collection company.

To begin baling your cardboard – and both save and earn money – you will have to invest in one or more cardboard balers.

Make money on cardboard using balers

Using cardboard balers to make money when you sell cardboard is a very cost-effective waste management strategy.

Apart from creating an additional stream of revenue for your business, there are other reasons – here are some of the other advantages that balers can provide:

  • Save money – balers can help reduce waste disposal costs by up to 80%
  • Save time – you’ll spend less time handling waste materials
  • Save space – cardboard balers take up less space, ensuring a cleaner and safer environment
  • Ensure easy handling of waste – baled cardboard is easier to store and handle
  • Protect the environment – you’ll increase the amount of waste your business recycles, thus you’ll protect the environment
