Commercial cardboard recycling in Carrum

Carrum’s commercial strip is short, and so is the storage space behind most of its shops. Cafés, takeaways and convenience stores near the station and McLeod Road take frequent small deliveries, and every one leaves boxes that need to go somewhere. In summer, beach traffic along the Nepean Highway pushes trade up, and the cardboard pile grows with it. Carrum is on Recyco’s south-east routes, between Chelsea and the Carrum Downs industrial area, so a regular stop here fits easily into existing runs. For most Carrum businesses an 1100L wheelie bin is enough; the real decision is pickup frequency. Many small sites start fortnightly and switch to weekly through the warmer months, or add an on-demand pickup when a big delivery arrives.
