How can I reuse or recycle … lots of cardboard tubes?
I’ve had an email from Andrew Urban:
I have something that needs to be recycle and actually is recyclable but maybe companies will charge a lot to take them.
It’s a 12″ long 3″ wide non-corrugated cardboard tube. My company uses around 3,000 a week of these tubes and we need a environmentally friendly way to dispose of them.
We have considered using a wood chipper to chop them into smaller pieces and then send them to a landfill but that will only solve our waste issue not our recycling issue.
This is probably on a lot bigger scale than most of the commenters on this site usually think about but if anyone’s got any ideas at all, post a comment below and maybe Andrew and his company will be able to scale it up and save all that landfill space.
We are in search of cardboard tubing 1 1/2″ to 2″ either inside or outside diameter and lenghts of 54″ or 60″ for our vinyl we ship out.
We reuse these between or company and others and if someone would like to help us out we could make some kind of offer to take them off you’re hands.
Please post any comments to my email please jr@rittenhouserestorations.com
Thank You
I think the best thing here is to contact local companies that might use them due to the bulkiness of postal tubes.
Donate some to schools for crafts, you could also stuff them with waste paper and use them as paper logs as fuel.
