About the 1.5m3 Cardboard Container
Our 1.5 cubic metre front-lift cardboard recycling container provides industrial-grade recycling for warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and large retail operations generating substantial volumes of packaging materials. This heavy-duty steel container marks the transition from wheelie bins to commercial-scale recycling, offering superior capacity and efficiency for businesses with high cardboard volumes.
Recycling cardboard at scale delivers exceptional cost savings. With landfill levies of $147/tonne in NSW (and similar rates across Australia), a 1.5m3 container filled with cardboard (approximately 150kg) would incur $22 in levies alone, plus general waste collection and disposal fees totaling $60-80. Cardboard recycling costs just $15-25 for the same volume, representing 70-80% savings. These savings compound weekly, delivering annual cost reductions of $2,000-$4,000 for typical warehouse operations.
Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) across Australia process your recycled cardboard into valuable commodity materials. Leading Australian manufacturers including Visy Industries, Amcor, and Opal Australian Paper purchase recycled cardboard bales to produce new packaging materials, supporting local manufacturing jobs while keeping materials in the circular economy. The 1.5m3 container capacity suits operations generating 100-200kg of cardboard weekly, with collection scheduled to match your operational needs.
