Cardboard takes up 30–50% of your dumpster. Your hauler charges you for every pickup. Pull the cardboard out, cut how often they come, and your monthly waste bill drops. That's what EcoMade does.
A typical business running an 8-yard dumpster at 2 pickups a week spends significantly more than they need to on waste. Here's what happens when EcoMade diverts the cardboard.
Real savings back in your pocket — and that's before you factor in cleaner docks, less time managing cardboard buildup, and no more calls to your hauler about overflow. Even businesses that see modest financial savings tell us they keep the service for the operational relief alone.
You don't need to change haulers or renegotiate any contracts. EcoMade fits alongside your existing setup.
Tell us your business type, current hauler frequency, and roughly how much cardboard you go through. We'll tell you whether EcoMade makes sense and what you'd likely save.
EcoMade provides linen collection baskets as part of the service — no equipment rental, no extra fees. Your team breaks down boxes and drops them in. That's it.
Weekly or every two weeks, we come, collect the cardboard, and keep your volume out of the dumpster. You call your hauler and reduce service frequency.
With less in your dumpster, you drop from 2 pickups a week to one — or from weekly to every other week. That reduction is where the real savings come from.
Any business that receives regular shipments is a candidate. These are the types we work with most.
High box volume from daily or weekly inventory deliveries.
Constant cardboard from produce, dry goods, and vendor deliveries.
Pallets of inbound packaging that fill dumpsters fast.
Bulky boxes that take up disproportionate dumpster space.
Ongoing packaging waste as part of day-to-day production.
Multi-tenant properties with shared dumpsters filling up constantly.
The core service is cardboard collection. Everything else builds on top of that.
Scheduled cardboard pickup for businesses that go through regular box volume. We place collection equipment, pick up on your schedule, and keep the cardboard out of your dumpster so your hauler frequency — and bill — goes down.
Office clean-outs, bulk item removal, end-of-lease cleanups. Tell us what's there, we quote it, we handle it. One call instead of coordinating multiple vendors.
Scrap metal and metal waste pickup handled and routed the right way. Bundled with cardboard collection for businesses generating both.
For construction, large-scale debris removal, and major clean-outs that need dedicated container capacity. Separate from recurring cardboard service — call for availability and pricing.
National haulers have call centers. We have a local team. When you have a question or need to adjust your schedule, you reach a person who knows your account.
The big operators want large commercial accounts. We're designed for the small and mid-size shops they deprioritize — retail, warehouse, food service, light manufacturing.
EcoMade fits alongside your current hauler setup. You don't cancel anything. You just reduce the frequency — and your bill follows.
Cleaner docks. Less time managing cardboard buildup. Employees focused on their actual jobs instead of dragging boxes. That's the part that makes clients keep the service long-term.

At TaylorMade Trucking Company & Couriers Inc., our EcoMade Division supports our Green Mile Initiative by reducing empty return miles throughout the Cleveland, Akron, and Canton region. We collect commercial cardboard and other recyclable packaging on backhaul routes — transforming waste into value, creating revenue opportunities, and supplying the community with essential gardening materials and products.
Cardboard collected on return runs — trucks that would otherwise drive back empty now carry recyclable value.
Commercial packaging waste is diverted from landfills and redirected into recycling and community programs.Recycling cardboard uses roughly 25% less energy than making it new.
Serving businesses across Cleveland, Akron, and Canton — the full Northeast Ohio corridor.
Recycled materials flow back to local gardeners and community growers through the Gardner Made program.
The clean, flat cardboard we collect from businesses gets bundled and made available to gardeners across Northeast Ohio — year-round. Use it for weed barriers, sheet mulching, compost layering, or raised bed lining. It works. And it costs you next to nothing.
