Cardboard Recycling
A dedicated cardboard recycling service is one of the easiest ways to start recycling, reduce your environmental impact and save money on waste management.
Cardboard is made of a strong paper fibre that allows it to be recycled many times over.
Urban Impact provides a complete cardboard recycling solution. We will ensure your bins are the right size and the service frequency meets your needs. Our team can provide seven day a week service or services at special times. We also provide training materials for your staff and clear signage to support your diversion efforts.
Why Cardboard Recycling is Important
Many municipalities in Canada have banned cardboard from local landfills. This means that loads delivered to a landfill, with large amounts of cardboard, could be fined.
Recycling large volumes of clean and recyclable bulk cardboard can receive a rebate, and recycling cardboard saves trees, water, electricity and helps reduce your carbon emissions.
Diverting cardboard from your garage stream is easy. Many of our customers including malls, packaging companies, office towers, schools or industrial complexes find our cardboard recycling solutions convenient, affordable and provide costs savings which often generates revenue.
