Holden Cardboard Pickup ~ Maine

In most cases cardboard is 100% recyclable in Holden, ME. However, cardboard that has been exposed to food waste, oil, liquid, grease, and other contaminants is not recyclable. To ensure that your cardboard is properly recycled, make sure that it's clean and dry. In most cases, waste management in Penobscot County may require you to flatten each box before placing it in the recycling bin or it may not be accepted. Also, remember to remove all plastic tape, styrofoam, packaging, laminates or tags to ensure it can be properly processed. If you need help recycling cardboard boxes, book a pickup with LoadUp and we'll dispose of your old cardboard for you on-demand!

Since cardboard is biodegradable, it can be used as compost material. This means that when you come across a piece of cardboard that can neither be recycled nor reused, you can add it to your compost pile. Unlike plastic, cardboard won't disintegrate into toxic microfibers after 100 years. Depending on the condition of the boxes, we may be able to donate them to a local charity or repurpose them for storage or packing material. At LoadUp, our goal is to dispose of cardboard boxes in the most responsible way possible.
