4.0m3 Cardboard Container

The 4.0 cubic metre front-lift cardboard recycling container represents maximum-capacity industrial recycling, engineered for major distribution centers, large manufacturing facilities, shopping complexes, and high-volume operations generating substantial packaging waste. This heavy-duty steel container delivers the highest capacity-to-cost ratio for cardboard recycling, minimizing collection frequency while maximizing financial and environmental benefits.

At industrial scale, cardboard recycling economics become highly compelling. A 4m3 container holds approximately 400kg of flattened cardboard. General waste disposal would cost $170-200 including landfill levies ($59 in NSW at $147/tonne), whereas recycling costs just $40-65 - representing 75-80% savings per collection. For major distribution centers requiring daily or multiple weekly collections, annual savings easily exceed $20,000-$30,000, with some operations saving over $50,000 annually by implementing comprehensive cardboard recycling programs.

Australian Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) process your cardboard into high-quality commodity bales for domestic paper mills. Visy Industries operates Australia's largest paper recycling network, processing cardboard at mills in Melbourne (Coolaroo), Sydney (Smithfield), Brisbane (Rocklea), and Adelaide. These facilities produce new packaging materials, boxboard, and containerboard, creating a true circular economy. Recycling 400kg of cardboard saves approximately 6.8 trees, 10,600 liters of water, and prevents 440kg of CO2 emissions. The 4m3 capacity suits operations generating 300-500kg weekly, with collection schedules tailored to match operational flows including seasonal peaks.
