CARDBOARD

Highly recyclable and accepted in curbside programs. However, breweries are able to save on additional costly pickups with their waste haulers for cardboard by baling it as a single-stream item & having it picked up by a recycling broker.

Since cardboard is a higher value in the recycling markets than grain bags or plastic film, this helps to offset costs that would otherwise be associated with hauling only low value recyclables. Additionally, by source separating cardboard it significantly decreases the risk of becoming wet or contaminated by other materials, and the potential to lose value/recyclability.
