Matthews Cardboard Pickup ~ North Carolina

In most cases cardboard is 100% recyclable in Matthews, NC. However, cardboard that has been exposed to food waste, oil, liquid, grease, and other contaminants is not recyclable. To ensure that your cardboard is properly recycled, make sure that it's clean and dry. In most cases, waste management in Mecklenburg County may require you to flatten each box before placing it in the recycling bin or it may not be accepted. Also, remember to remove all plastic tape, styrofoam, packaging, laminates or tags to ensure it can be properly processed. If you need help recycling cardboard boxes, book a pickup with LoadUp and we'll dispose of your old cardboard for you on-demand!

Since you won't need to be present for your appointment, you don't need to worry about a thing.

Properly managed, cardboard can biodegrade into organic matter in just two months. But if it's coated with wax, the process may take longer. While wax doesn't impede biodegradation, it can slow it down, leading to a breakdown process that takes several years instead of the typical two months. It may also be possible to donate your boxes to a local charity or reuse them for packing and storage. LoadUp believes in eco-friendly disposal solutions that benefit both our clients and the environment, so we explore all possible options for repurposing and recycling your cardboard boxes.
