On-demand cardboard pickup
On-demand cardboard removal when the boxes pile up
Not every business needs a fixed schedule. If your cardboard comes in waves — stocktakes, seasonal peaks, shop fit-outs, product launches — book an on-demand pickup and we’ll come when you need us.
Pay for the pickups you use
Keep a bin on site and call us when it’s full. No paying for half-empty bins through the quiet months.
Extra pickups for regular customers
Already on a schedule? Big delivery week or end-of-year rush — just call and we’ll add a collection.
Fast local turnaround
Our trucks run through south-east Melbourne every weekday, so on-demand jobs slot into the nearest run.
