Most businesses pay to have cardboard hauled away. Greene Recycling works differently. We are a recycling broker: we sell your baled cardboard into the recycling market and pass value back to you through cardboard recycling rebates. For many customers, cardboard goes from a monthly expense to a monthly return.
Recycled cardboard is a commodity. Paper mills use it to make new boxes and paperboard, and they buy it in large, consistent volumes. A single store can’t sell into that market on its own. A broker can. Greene Recycling combines bales from more than 500 locations, sells the material to the market, and shares that value with the businesses that produced it.
The rule is simple: the more bales we pick up, the higher the rebate we can extend. That makes cardboard recycling rebates especially valuable for multi-location companies. A chain with dozens of stores can put every location on one program and earn on the combined volume.
A traditional hauler treats cardboard as trash. You pay for the container, you pay for the haul, and the material’s value goes to someone else. A broker treats cardboard as the commodity it is. With Greene Recycling, the same bales that used to cost you money become the basis for cardboard recycling rebates. You still get dependable pickups, but the value of the material comes back to your business.
Cardboard recycling rebates add up fastest for businesses with steady volume: retail chains, grocery stores, distribution centers, and manufacturers. These operations receive product in boxes every day, and every bale they produce counts. Restaurants and smaller shops can benefit too, especially when several locations join one program and their volume is combined.
We’ll walk you through how these factors apply to your locations.
Small habits protect your cardboard recycling rebates. Keep bales indoors or covered so they stay dry. Train staff to keep plastic and trash out of the baler. Store bales near the dock so pickups are quick. If your bales are coming out loose or light, our baler service can help. Read more in our article on getting more value from every cardboard bale.
Brokerage only works when bales leave on schedule. Our cardboard bale pickup handles bales from 180 lbs up to 1,200 lbs on weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or will-call service. Every bale we haul counts toward your volume.
We’re happy to answer each of these for your business before you sign up for cardboard recycling rebates.
