Common Mistakes to Avoid

Don't assume all cardboard is the same

Corrugated cardboard (with the wavy middle layer) is what you want. Chipboard (like cereal boxes) is cheaper but less durable.

Don't order too little

Small orders cost more per pound. If you can store it, buy 3-6 months worth at once.

Don't forget storage

Used cardboard needs to stay dry. A small leak can ruin an entire bale.

Getting Started

If you're new to buying used cardboard

  • Start with Used Box Recycling - they're easiest to work with

  • Order one bale first to test quality

  • Build relationships with suppliers for better long-term pricing

If you're already buying cardboard

  • Compare your current costs to these Los Lunas prices

  • Consider switching if you can save 20% or more

  • Set up regular deliveries to avoid running out

The key is to start simple, test what works for your business, and gradually increase your orders as you get comfortable with the process.
