Services for Washington Businesses

Every Washington account can use:

  • Cardboard bale pickup. We haul bales from 180 lbs up to 1,200 lbs. No job is too big or too small.
  • Pickup schedules that fit. Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or will-call when volume jumps or drops.
  • Baler service. We keep your baler running so bales come out tight and ready to load.
  • Roll-offs and compactors. 30-ft roll-offs with dump and return service, plus 40-yard compactors for rental and service.

See the bale pickup page or browse all services.

Earn a Rebate on Your Bales

As a recycling broker, Greene Recycling sells your baled cardboard into the recycling market and shares the value with you. The more bales we pick up, the higher the rebate we can extend. A chain with stores in Tacoma, Everett, and Olympia can combine that volume for a better return.

That’s why cardboard recycling in Washington can be a savings line instead of a cost. You free up back-room space and stop paying to send boxes to the landfill. Learn more on our recycling rebates page.

Who We Work With

We serve single-location shops and national brands, including Walgreens and Crate & Barrel. Every customer gets the same team and the same direct line.

Why Cardboard Recycling Matters in Washington

Corrugated boxes are among the most recycled packaging materials in the U.S., according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Bales sent to a mill become new packaging, and they stay out of the landfill.

Many Washington companies set waste goals and get asked about them. Regular cardboard recycling in Washington gives you a monthly bale count you can report with confidence.

Peninsula Towns Get the Same Service

Getting a truck to Port Angeles or Bainbridge Island takes more planning than a stop off I-5. Some haulers skip those towns or add fees. We build them into our routes, so a store in Sequim gets the same pickup schedule and rebate terms as one in Renton. Reliable cardboard recycling in Washington shouldn’t depend on which side of the water you’re on.

For holiday freight and other busy stretches, will-call pickups add a stop when your baler fills early.

How to Start

First, we go over your locations, baler, and bale volume. Second, we add you to a route and confirm pickup days. Third, the truck starts hauling and your rebate begins. Adding a store later is one call. Our FAQ page answers common questions. Setting up cardboard recycling in Washington with us won’t change how your team runs the stockroom.

What Happens on Pickup Day

Your crew bales cardboard as freight comes off the truck and stacks the finished bales at the dock or another agreed spot. On your scheduled day, our driver loads them and logs the count. That record supports your rebate and gives you a number for reports. You don’t have to sort, call ahead, or hold a window open. If the baler jams or bales come out loose, call us and our baler service team will sort it out.

Stores close together, like Lynnwood and Mukilteo or Tacoma and Lakewood, often share a route day. Full trucks and tight schedules keep cardboard recycling in Washington affordable for a single shop and a regional chain alike. When your volume changes, we adjust the schedule, so you aren’t paying for stops you don’t need. Most customers settle into a steady rhythm within the first month.
