How To Recycle Cardboard In San Diego

 

Card Board Recycling

 

Most of the time, when it comes to cardboard recycling, San Diego residents find that putting old boxes and cardboard packaging into their residential recycling bin is all they need to do. 

 

And for all the business owners in and around the San Diego area, while it might occur more frequently and on a somewhat larger scale, cardboard recycling is still relatively simple: they just break down boxes and other cardboard waste and place it all in the convenient recycling dumpster that are generally available. 

 

Learn about the importance of recycling.

 

Except that it’s not always that easy and sometimes the sheer volume is more than the bins and dumpsters can handle.

 

Why Recycle Cardboard?

 

For those of us who live in San Diego, recycling is pretty much a “no brainer.”

 

And, when we’re dealing with cardboard recycling, San Diego residents have that pretty dialed in. All of which is a good thing because paper, paperboard, and cardboard waste make up a massive amount of all the solid waste we produce here.

 

In fact, the EPA has estimated that, overall, the total generation of paper and paperboard (cardboard) in our trash represents over 23 percent of total solid waste generation in America. 

 

When you consider that the city of San Diego manages to generate almost 1.6 million tons of trash every year, that’s quite a bit of cardboard! Around 370,000 tons annually, to be exact. And if all of this waste cardboard isn’t recycled then it will likely end up in the few landfills left in San Diego County.

 

Fortunately, studies have shown that 76 percent of San Diego’s trash can be recycled. And almost all of the cardboard trash is recyclable. 

 

How to Recycle Cardboard in San Diego

 

If you’re in need of some bulk cardboard recycling, San Diego has some paper and cardboard recycling centers. And, if you’re wondering where can you recycle cardboard, an online search will bring up some options for you. 

 

A quick search on your phone for “cardboard recycling near me” for example, should give you a few results, but you may also notice that most of them are pretty generic. In other words, there are few businesses that only specialize in cardboard recycling.

And those that do are typically B2B firms that work with commercial customers. Which is great for businesses in San Diego, but what about homeowners, renters, and others who are simply residents and not business owners or managers?

 

The good news is that you can take your own waste cardboard to facilities in San Diego to be recycled if you want to.

So, you’ve done an online search for “cardboard recycling near me” or “paper and cardboard recyclers near me” and you’re still a bit unsure as to where to go. 

 

No problem! We’ve narrowed down the list of possibilities for you and here are some options for a more DIY approach to your residential cardboard recycling efforts:

 

 

Keep in mind that you will usually have to load and transport your own cardboard waste. In addition, you may not receive any cash for your recyclables unlike aluminum cans or glass bottles, for example, and you might even have some fees. However, it is possible to get it done this way.

 

How to Recycle Cardboard Yourself With 5 Simple Steps

Another option many times, depending on the type of cardboard waste and its general condition, is to reuse it at home

 

Reuse or repurposing is one of the recycling ideas that can be implemented for many types of “waste” products including scrap lumber, old furniture, certain glassware, and – of course – sheets of cardboard or cardboard boxes.

The good news is that cardboard recycling does not have to be a DIY project, nor does it have to be costly. 

 

No matter how much cardboard you have or what type, a quick call to Junk King San Diego is all you need do to make it happen. And regardless of where you live in San Diego County – in the city of San Diego or elsewhere – when you need recycling, Junk King locations can be found throughout the region. 

 

Why and how does junk king recycle items? That’s a great question. First and foremost, we recycle because it is at the heart of our company’s mission – to be the greenest junk removal firm in North America. And we routinely manage to recycle up to 60 percent of everything we pick up from our customers, including bulk cardboard.

 

And we do it all affordably, as well.

 

One of the best parts about calling Junk King San Diego for your cardboard recycling and other junk removal is knowing that you will always get affordable service. In fact, we pride ourselves on offering the best pricing in our communities like Dulzura, El Cajon, Winter Gardens, Casa de Oro, La Mesa, and others.

 

When it comes to pricing, we never charge customers by the weight of their load like most other companies do. Instead, we only charge you for the amount of space your junk material takes up in our trucks. Which translates into cost savings for you!

 

So, no matter whether your junk weighs 500 pounds or just 50, you only pay for how much volume it takes up in the truck. And that means far more equitable pricing for you. 

 

Being genuinely green and environmentally friendly, along with offering fair and transparent pricing, are just some of the ways Junk King stands out as the nation’s premier junk removal company.

 

And we always work hard to guarantee that our junk and debris removal services are the most affordable in our service area. Not only do we believe in fair and transparent pricing, but we also believe in giving all our customers a free, no-obligation estimate beforehand.

 

In fact, we even give you with four different ways to get an estimate:   

 

  1. Getting an on-site estimate is the best and most accurate way for us to assess your job and offer you the most accurate estimate.
  2. Call us at 1-888-888-JUNK or live chat through our website with our highly trained customer service representatives.
  3. Or send us a text with a photo or two of your debris or junk to 737-888-5865 and we will text back a free estimate.
  4. Going online to our website is a quick way to get an estimate, as well. Just click on the “Pricing” tab above, scroll to “Pricing Estimator” and click the green “Launch Pricing Estimator” button.
