Commercial cardboard recycling in Chelsea

Chelsea’s shops sit on two parallel commercial streets, split down the middle by the Frankston line. That layout matters for cardboard. Many shops on Station Street and the Nepean Highway back onto rear laneways or small car parks, where loose boxes get wet, blow around and annoy the neighbours. A lidded 1100L wheelie bin, emptied on a fixed day, keeps the laneway clear and the back door usable. Chelsea sits on Recyco’s south-east routes between Edithvale and Carrum, so it’s a simple stop to add. Retailers with steady weekly deliveries usually go weekly; offices and practices with lighter paper volumes often choose fortnightly. Either way, quotes usually come back within 4 hours.
