Commercial cardboard removal & recycling, managed across every location
From back-of-house balers to flattened pallets of corrugated, Waste Harmonics Keter handles cardboard removal and recycling as a single managed partner. One point of contact, one invoice, documentation you can defend.
Cardboard is your highest-volume stream, and it's costing you more than it should
For retail, distribution, and e-commerce, cardboard piles up faster than anything else, and most operators are paying to haul away a material that has real commodity value. Mismatched containers turn a recoverable asset into pure cost.
We make cardboard removal simple, consistent, and where the volume supports your operational needs, turning a recoverable asset into rebated costs.
The cardboard we remove and recycle
We manage all forms of commercial cardboard, from everyday OCC and loose corrugated to baled commodity streams, across every location under one program.
Old corrugated cardboard (OCC) & boxes
Flattened & baled cardboard
Mixed paper & paperboard
Shipping & packaging waste
High-volume back-of-house generation (retail, DC, fulfillment)
How WHK manages your cardboard program
We start by mapping what you generate across every location, then standardize your program with one cadence and vetted recyclers everywhere. Scheduled pickups come with chain-of-custody records, and your materials are processed responsibly with diversion and activity rolled into one report.
Assess
We map your cardboard volume by site, current containers/balers, haulers, and costs.
Standardize
One program: right-sized service, balers or roll-offs where volume warrants, vetted recyclers across every site.
Collect & document
Scheduled pickups with weight and chain-of-custody records.
Recycle & report
OCC routed to recovery; diversion and activity rolled into one report.
Simplify, save, and optimize
Simplify
One managed partner across every location; we wrangle the haulers, balers, recyclers, and paperwork.
Save
Right-sized service and consolidated billing replace overflow fees and untracked spend, and high-volume sites may recover commodity value instead of paying to dispose.
Optimize
Weight tracking, diversion data, and reporting that stand up to audit and feed ESG goals.
A broker hands your assets to whoever's cheapest and disappears. We own
the outcome. Vetted recyclers, real people, full accountability
Where your cardboard actually goes
Collected OCC is routed to vetted recyclers and paper mills for recovery into new product, keeping it out of landfill and giving you auditable diversion data for ESG and corporate reporting.

Why multi-site operators trust WHK
We don't broker your program. We own the relationship at every location you operate, which means we're answerable for what happens from pickup to final processing.
Materials are routed to the right recovery or reuse facilities within our network, with diversion and activity documented and rolled into your program report.
Consolidated data across all locations rolls into one report. No piecing together invoices from five different vendors or explaining gaps in your diversion numbers to auditors.
We own your program end to end, not as a broker passing you between vendors.
FAQ
Common questions about our program and services.
Yes, one managed program, consistent service, one invoice across every site nationwide.
Removal gets it off site; recycling diverts it from landfill and gets it processed to be reused. We do both under one program, with diversion documented.
Cardboard is a recoverable commodity, so high-volume generators may offset disposal cost. Contact us to discuss what applies to your program.
Where volume warrants, equipment can be part of the program. Contact us to discuss what makes sense for your sites.
WHK coordinates local haulers nationwide, so service is consistent wherever your sites are.
