            Cardboard

            May 20, 2022

            Cardboard

            Many items we purchase come in corrugated cardboard boxes, the thick boxes with the wavy lines. Cardboard is easy and environmentally efficient to recycle, saving large amounts of water and energy when compared to the manufacturing of virgin materials.

            Cardboard was identified in the City’s Solid Waste Action Plan 2013 as bulky in the landfill and easy to recycle with recycling options and services already available to commercial and residential sectors. Since May 1st, 2015 cardboard must be separated from your regular waste. Unsorted load fees apply to waste bin mixed with cardboard. See Tipping Fees for more info.

            Why Recycle Cardboard?

            • Cardboard is bulky and fills up not only the City’s landfill but your waste bin
            • Can save you money by reducing the amount of waste in your commercial waste container
            • Saves you from paying Unsorted Load tipping fees
            • Recycling cardboard reduces your carbon footprint and environmental impact
            • Recycling cardboard reduces the amount of trees harvested, saving resources
            • It’s the right thing to do

            What Happens To Recycled Cardboard

            Recycled cardboard can be turned back into numerous materials:

            • New cardboard boxes
            • Brown paper products, like paper towel
            • Paper towels and tissues
            • Paper bags
            • Boxboard (cereal boxes, cracker boxes, etc)

            Cardboard Recycling Options

            Corrugated cardboard, free of food and wax, can be brought to P&M Recycling Depot or Raven Recycling Society free of charge to be turned into new products. Sign up to Whitehorse Blue Bin Recycling for biweekly curbside collections. Compost your food soiled cardboard (pizza boxes).
