Frequently Asked Questions
What is commodity consultancy for cardboard products, and how can it help my business?
It is just consulting on how to best handle the scrap commodity that one generates in their businesses
Why is commercial cardboard baling crucial for trash management? What is it?
In many states, you get fined for putting your cardboard into the waste stream. If you bale your cardboard it becomes a commodity and is sent directly to a paper mill. If you dispose of your cardboard loose you are always charged for trucking and rental of equipment; e.g if a company pays $1,000 per month to get rid of their trash and it is 50% cardboard then we reduce the cost by 50% and if it is baled we then pay for that commodity but we need a larger volume for it to make sense.

What are the benefits of recycling cardboard with baler equipment?
We save companies money and guarantee that the Cardboard that is baled goes directly to a paper mill, we recently installed a baler at a local company in Boston. They were paying $1,300 per month to dispose of their cardboard and now we pay them $ 100/per month so it is a savings of $1,400 per month or $16,800 per year
How can full truckload brokerage services facilitate the shipment of cardboard?
We can limit freight costs if someone can save for a full truckload of OCC (Old Corrugated Containers). Scrap is very freight sensitive so the more weight you can ship the cheaper the freight cost is PER TON. If freight costs $1,000 and you ship 10 tons the cost per ton for freight is $100/ton. If you ship 20/tons (full truck load) the freight cost per ton is reduced to 50/ton. Basic math. It also allows us to offer the truckload to multiple paper mills to get the best price available
What elements ought I take into account when selecting a full truckload brokerage solution for my cardboard shipments?
It is just the price per ton paid, that’s all. The close the generator is to a paper mill the cheaper the freight therefore the commodity (OCC in this case) has a greater value
