About the 3.0m3 Cardboard Container
The 3.0 cubic metre front-lift cardboard recycling container is Australia's preferred solution for high-volume cardboard recycling at distribution centers, manufacturing plants, large retail operations, and industrial facilities. This heavy-duty steel container offers double the capacity of the 1.5m3 size, significantly reducing collection frequency while maximizing landfill levy savings and environmental benefits.
Industrial-scale cardboard recycling delivers compelling financial returns. With NSW landfill levies at $147/tonne (and similar rates in VIC, QLD, SA, WA), a 3m3 container filled with cardboard (approximately 300kg) would incur $44 in levies alone, plus general waste fees totaling $120-150. Recycling the same volume costs just $30-50, representing 75-80% savings. For distribution centers and manufacturers generating multiple containers weekly, annual savings can exceed $10,000-$15,000.
Australian Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) process your recycled cardboard into commodity-grade bales purchased by domestic paper mills. Visy Industries, Australia's largest recycler, processes over 1.5 million tonnes of paper and cardboard annually at mills across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Adelaide. Amcor's Botany mill and Opal's Maryvale facility also consume substantial recycled cardboard volumes. This domestic recycling infrastructure ensures your waste supports Australian manufacturing jobs while reducing carbon emissions from virgin paper production. The 3m3 capacity suits operations generating 200-400kg cardboard weekly, with flexible collection schedules matching operational requirements.
