We are proud to offer old corrugated container (OCC) recycling – also known as old cardboard or yesterday’s pizza box – in Columbus, OH. The address of this facility is 3024 Charter Street, Columbus, OH 43228, United States.

At our OCC facility, we take any type of corrugated cardboard that is clean and dry. In the process of making new paper from old, we make sure that all material is properly sorted and stored, and that all non-recyclable material is removed. Our facility is equipped with the latest equipment, and our experienced staff is always on hand to ensure that the process runs smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions

When cardboard is recycled, it is first collected and sorted by recyclers. It is then broken down into small pieces and pulped, which turns it into a slurry that is then used to create new cardboard products. The process of recycling cardboard can be energy-intensive, but it is definitely worth it since it can help reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills. Additionally, it can help reduce the amount of natural resources needed to make new cardboard products.

Recycling cardboard helps the environment by reducing the amount of waste that is sent to landfills, as well as reducing the amount of resources needed to make new cardboard products. You can recycle cardboard at many locations, including local recycling centers like the Greif location listed here and curbside collection programs.

OCC stands for Old Corrugated Container. It’s an industry term for cardboard that is collected for the repulping process. OCC is the basis or raw material used in the creation of most new paper and cardboard.

At Greif, we operate 18 recycling facilities located across the U.S., where we provide industrial and commercial collection and recycling services, primarily focused on paper – or fiber-recovery.

As a commercial and industrial recycling partner, recycling at Greif is different from consumer-facing recycling in that we are more focused on specific substrates – fiber, plastics, metal, etc. than individual products.
