Cardboard Collection and Recycling
Call Island Junk Solutions for fast pickup and responsible recycling of cardboard boxes and packaging
Clear Out Cardboard Without Overflowing Your Blue Bin
Moving boxes, shipping packaging, and bulk deliveries can quickly reach curbside recycling limits. Island Junk Solutions collects your excess cardboard and takes it straight to approved recycling depots, where it’s processed into new paper products instead of ending up in the landfill.
Whether it’s a single stack of flattened boxes or a warehouse full of discarded packaging, we handle the loading and transport. You don’t need to cut or bundle beyond what you can manage — just set it aside, and we’ll do the rest.
What We Accept
We take all types of cardboard, including:
- Flattened corrugated boxes
- Cardboard packaging and dividers
- Paperboard cartons, like cereal or shoe boxes
- Bundled or loose stacks
- Commercial cardboard loads from retail or warehouse spaces
Local Disposal Guidelines
In the Capital Regional District (CRD) and Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN), cardboard must be clean and free from food residue or wax coating to be recycled. Wet or heavily soiled cardboard is considered garbage. Commercial loads often require drop-off at designated depots or transfer stations, which Island Junk Solutions handles as part of our pickup service.

Cardboard Recycling FAQs
Do you take wet or damaged cardboard?
Slightly damp cardboard may be accepted, but wet or heavily soiled cardboard is disposed of as garbage.
Do I need to flatten the boxes before pickup?
While flattening cardboard boxes saves space in our truck and at the depot, t’s not required. We can break them down on-site if needed.
Do you handle large commercial volumes?
Yes. We collect bulk cardboard loads from retail, office, and industrial spaces.
Is there a weight limit for cardboard recycling?
There’s no strict weight limit, but waterlogged cardboard becomes much heavier and is generally considered unrecyclable. It may be charged at a different rate due to disposal rules.
