Your dumpster is full of cardboard. That's costing you money.
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.
We're not adding an expense. We're reducing one you already have.
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.
Simple process. No runaround.
You don't need to change haulers or renegotiate any contracts. EcoMade fits alongside your existing setup.
We assess your 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.
We place a container
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.
We pick up on a schedule
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.
You reduce your hauler bill
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.
If your business goes through cardboard, we should talk.
Any business that receives regular shipments is a candidate. These are the types we work with most.
Retail & storefront
High box volume from daily or weekly inventory deliveries.
Grocery & food
Constant cardboard from produce, dry goods, and vendor deliveries.
Warehouse & distribution
Pallets of inbound packaging that fill dumpsters fast.
Furniture & home goods
Bulky boxes that take up disproportionate dumpster space.
Manufacturing
Ongoing packaging waste as part of day-to-day production.
Property management
Multi-tenant properties with shared dumpsters filling up constantly.

The big haulers aren't built to save you money. We are.
We actually answer the phone
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.
Built for businesses your size
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.
No new vendor juggling
EcoMade fits alongside your current hauler setup. You don't cancel anything. You just reduce the frequency — and your bill follows.
Operational relief, not just savings
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.

Woman-owned, locally operated, built on 10+ years of logistics experience in this market. We're not a franchise. This is our community too.
Turning empty return miles into something that matters.
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.
Backhaul routes
Cardboard collected on return runs — trucks that would otherwise drive back empty now carry recyclable value.
Waste into 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.
Regional reach
Serving businesses across Cleveland, Akron, and Canton — the full Northeast Ohio corridor.
Community supply
Recycled materials flow back to local gardeners and community growers through the Gardner Made program.
Good cardboard shouldn't end up in a landfill.
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.

Bundled, clean cardboard
Flat, broken-down boxes sourced from local businesses. No tape or staples when possible.
Great for sheet mulching
Lay it down to suppress weeds, retain moisture, and build healthy soil as it breaks down.
Kept out of the landfill
Every bundle is cardboard a business would have thrown away. You're giving it a second life.One ton of recycled cardboard keeps about 9 cubic yards out of the landfill.
