Yes, we pick up in Virginia. Tell us where your locations are and we’ll build a route around your schedule.
Virginia moves freight through the Port of Virginia, warehouses it along I-81 and I-95, and sells it in stores from Northern Virginia to Hampton Roads. Greene Recycling offers cardboard recycling in Virginia for all of those businesses, from one shop to a full regional network.
Greene Recycling was founded in 1995 with routes in Texas and Oklahoma. We’re based in Georgetown, Texas, and today we serve more than 500 business locations in all 50 states. That reach is how we offer cardboard recycling in Virginia without asking you to change the way your stores, kitchens, or loading docks already work.
We don’t have a truck route in Virginia yet, and we won’t pretend otherwise. What we do have is a simple process. You sign up, we map your locations, and we build a route around them. We plan around I-95, I-81, and I-64, the roads that tie Northern Virginia, Richmond, Hampton Roads, and the Shenandoah Valley together. Your schedule can be weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or will-call, set around your bale volume.
That’s how cardboard recycling in Virginia begins for most new customers: one call, one plan, and pickups that match what your sites actually produce.
Every Virginia account gets the same services we provide nationwide:

Cardboard has value, and we treat it that way. As a recycling broker, Greene Recycling sells baled cardboard into the recycling market. The more bales we pick up, the higher the rebate we can extend to you. A large distribution center near the port and a single store in Roanoke both get credit for their bales.
For many businesses, that turns cardboard recycling in Virginia from a monthly cost into something that pays back. Read how our recycling rebates work.
Virginia’s port and its I-81 and I-95 corridors support a large warehouse and distribution sector. Food processing, manufacturing, and dense retail in Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads add more. We set up cardboard recycling in Virginia for each type of site, with service matched to how much you bale.

We can serve businesses in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Chesapeake, as well as Richmond, Arlington, and Alexandria. We also offer cardboard recycling in Virginia in Roanoke, Lynchburg, Charlottesville, and Harrisonburg.
Southwest Virginia and the rural Piedmont are included too. Call with your address and we’ll add it to the route we build.
Corrugated boxes are among the most recycled packaging materials in the country, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. With this much port and warehouse traffic, corrugated is a big part of what Virginia businesses throw out. Baled cardboard goes back to paper mills and comes back as new boxes instead of taking up landfill space.
Steady cardboard recycling in Virginia also gives you numbers to report. Every bale we pick up is material kept out of the trash, which helps when a corporate office or a customer asks about your waste diversion.
The first step is a short call. We ask where your Virginia sites are, what kind of baler each one has, and roughly how many bales you fill in a typical week. If a site has no baler, we talk about whether a roll-off or a compactor makes more sense.
Next, we set your pickup days and confirm them with each store or plant manager. Once pickups begin, we watch the first few weeks closely. If bales stack up faster than expected, we add a stop. If they come in slower, we space pickups out. You can also check our FAQ page for quick answers before you call.
Clients like Walgreens and Crate & Barrel work with us because one company can handle locations in many states. If you have stores in Virginia and in neighboring states, we can put them under one account with one point of contact. That works for chains with stores in Virginia, Maryland, and the Carolinas. Adding a location later takes a phone call.
Tell us where your Virginia locations are, about how many bales you produce, and how often you want a pickup. We’ll build a plan and a route for your sites so you can start cardboard recycling in Virginia. Request a quote online or call 512-630-5108 to talk with our team. Have locations in other states?
