Cardboard and packaging disposal for warehouses, stores, offices and moves, with tips on flattening boxes and options for recycling.
Cardboard and packaging are light but they fill a container quickly. Flattened boxes take a fraction of the space, which is why a few extra minutes of folding can save a swap. A roll-off dumpster at the back of a store or a warehouse gives you a single place for the stream. In Nashville, retail resets, office moves, product launches and home moves all create boxes by the hundreds.
Flatten boxes, remove tape and packing materials when you can and stack them neatly, then fill the container evenly. Clean, dry cardboard may be recycled, while wet or greasy cardboard usually is not, so keep it dry. Polystyrene foam, plastic wrap and packing peanuts are bulky and handled differently, so ask us about them. We recommend a size based on how many boxes you expect and how often you need a pickup. Set up a flattening station near your loading area and make it easy to fold boxes right away. Separate clean cardboard from packing foam and plastic, and keep cardboard dry if it may be recycled. A consistent routine saves space and keeps the container from filling with air.
