Commercial cardboard recycling in Upper Ferntree Gully
Upper Ferntree Gully’s businesses are mostly small and close together, lined up along Burwood Highway near the station where Mount Dandenong Tourist Road heads up into the hills. Weekends bring a steady flow of walkers and day-trippers, which means cafés and takeaway shops restock often and go through cartons quickly. Grocers and specialty stores add their own boxes, and back-of-house space on the strip is limited. Upper Ferntree Gully is at the eastern edge of the area near Recyco’s south-east routes, and an 1100L wheelie bin on a weekly or fortnightly pickup keeps cardboard out of general waste without taking up much room. Busier venues can increase frequency in peak months.
