The recycling of corrugated containers is easy and simple to implement. It involves: source separation from the refuse stream; preparation to minimize contamination and improve ease of handling; storage; and delivery to a paper[paper?:paper sample maker cutting machine] processor or mill (see Fact Sheet on Waste Paper Recycling and Markets) to be recycled into various recycled paper products such as unbleached kraft paperboard, the center fluting of corrugated boxes, and recycled paperboard.
There are many possible methods for handling corrugated. At a minimum, storage facilities must be easily accessible to building maintenance personnel and haulers and must comply with fire codes. Corrugated boxes should be opened and flattened and contaminants removed before being placed in the storage container. A list of common contaminants is presented on the reverse side of this fact sheet. Remember, the cleaner the material, the more marketable it is.
Once the contaminants are removed, your system for handling the corrugated may be a simple as placing the loose flattened corrugated into a dumpster. Other options include manually bundling the corrugated, mechanically baling or compacting (large generators), or backhauling the loose corrugated to a central distribution center for baling or compacting (for stores that are part of a chain). You can really get innovative and perhaps come up with a plan for smaller businesses picking up merchandise at wholesalers to backhaul their corrugated there for compaction or baling.
