    Paper mills or companies that make cardboard boxes are the buyers for cardboard. Look for a cardboard box maker or a paper mill and you will likely get one that will buy old cardboard.

    The price may be dependent upon whether it is baled or not. This is similar to the way that companies deal with plastics. They will usually give you a higher price if the material is baled and easier to handle. They may also be picky about the kind of cardboard. The local company that buys cardboard around here will not accept things like old pizza boxes because of the grease that has soaked into the material.
