Cardboard Recycling Bins for Retailers & Warehouses

Retail and warehouse sites generate more cardboard than general waste. Separating it properly keeps floors clear, lowers costs, and avoids landfill levies.

Choose the right cardboard bin

• 240L: Small boutiques or offices with light packaging waste.
• 660L: Most retail back rooms; fits standard store doors and small bin bays.
• 1100L: High-volume sites or warehouses; best if you have dock access and flat floors.
• Baler: Worth it when you have 3+ full 1100L bins of cardboard per week. Bales reduce pickups and can attract rebates.

Pickup frequencies that work

• Retail strip stores: 660L weekly or 2x weekly in peak season.
• Shopping centre tenants: 660L-1100L 2-3x weekly; align with delivery days.
• Warehouses: 1100L daily or baler with weekly bale pickups.

Contamination to avoid

• Waxed fruit boxes, food-soiled boxes, and coffee cups belong in general waste.
• Plastic wrap, strapping, and foam go separately-keep them out to avoid rejection fees.
• Flatten boxes to increase bin capacity and reduce overfill charges.

Cost tips

• Moving cardboard out of general waste can cut 10-25% from total waste spend.
• If a baler is too much upfront, start with 1100L bins and review after 6 weeks of data.
• Combine cardboard + commingled pickups on the same run to reduce truck visits.
