Baled OCC and Cardboard Recycling in Minneapolis
Take 2 Direct runs a buy-side recycling program. That means we purchase your baled old corrugated containers and route them into paper-mill recycling streams. Distribution centers, e-commerce fulfillment centers, retailers, grocery DCs, manufacturers and 3PLs across Minneapolis use the program to stop paying to throw away good fiber.
We grade to ISRI specifications and price against published market benchmarks, so you know how your payment is set. If you also need pallets, boxes, stretch film or tape, the same team can quote your annual supply list.
