Why it's Important to Breakdown Cardboard

Improperly broken down cardboard takes up unnecessary space in containers and trucks. This happens because the cardboard isn't compacted correctly, leaving behind excess air and wasting valuable room that could otherwise be utilized more efficiently.

Failing to break down cardboard properly results in inefficient use of space, with excess air contributing to increased pickup costs and the potential for additional fees.

If your containers are frequently filled and disorganized, it provides an opportunity for waste vendors to pick up your recycling more frequently, which ultimately leads to escalating costs over time.
