Product Information

If neither one of those ideas appeals much to you (or both), we have more options for shredding cardboard: grinders or rotary cutters. But, you sometimes need to cut the big cardboard like those corrugated ones into strips. However, if you are shredding paper cardboard, you don’t need to put this effort. You only need to roll the paperboard and put it into the paper shredder.

Shredding the cardboard makes sure that there is sufficient structure in the pile for air to circulate properly. The delivery service and carriage charges detailed above apply throughout the UK mainland, but please note that deliveries to northern Scotland (defined by postcodes AB30+, FK17+, HS, IV, KA27+, KW, PA20+) may take up to 3 working days to arrive. This process will take some time if you want to shred large pieces into tiny bits, but it’s very easy to accomplish with this method! A Box Cutter:

The only downside of this method, it takes time for the organic matter to make the nutrients available to the plants. However, when fully decomposed, organic matter can improve soil quality and plant growth. Paper shredder is one of the shredding equipment that is commonly used to break down cardboard papers into smaller pieces. You can also spread some soil or old compost over the card to help speed up the process (the soil contains some useful microbes to get the process started). Compost piles are teaming with fungal activity. This cardboard lasagna construction will get broken down by the fungus over a period of a few months. It’s is relatively slow operation and will take at least 3 to 6 months.

You only need to dig a hole and bury anything compostable in the pit and then give it time to decompose on its own. Turn the compost: when you finish adding the compostable materials or when the compost is full, cover it and give it time to decompose. Ensure that you turn the compost timely at 2-3 yes a week. However, you maybe need to invest a small token in buying some equipment. But, that is not necessary. It is only needed for better efficiency and time management.

Why Register?

The harvested trees will be stripped after harvesting. The trunks are the only parts that will be moved to a pulp mill. A pulp mill is a milling machine where these woody materials can be turned into cardboard such as paperboard and corrugated fiberboard. Keep reading to learn how to shred cardboard for compost and what shredding materials you need to have to get the work done. However, if the cardboard materials are added to the compost bin without following the right composting preparation and maintenance, your cardboard compost can take a year or more before all materials can become fully decomposed. We also advise against using rotary cutters for smaller items that could easily fit into grinders instead; however, they’re more than suitable for larger chunks of cardboard that require thorough shredding! Machine Based Cardboard Shredder The time it takes cardboard to decompose depends on many factors such as the size, quantity, and surface area of the cardboard.

Grinders can be very dangerous if they’re not used properly or their power isn’t turned down enough; always wear protective gloves before using one for this purpose!The cardboard helps balance moisture in the compost. If your compost contains too much moisture, add cardboard to the compost. It will absorb all the moisture and stabilize the compost. There’s just one caveat to this method. You will probably struggle if you have a low powered electric chipper.
