Why carton is sold per kilo

Carton is bought by weight because that is how paper mills buy it. A kilo of flattened carton is a kilo whether it came from ten small boxes or two big ones, so weight is the fairest way to pay.

That is also why the scale matters. At Reearnify, the driver weighs your carton on our scale where you can see the reading before you are paid.

What affects the price of carton

A few things decide what carton is worth at any given time:

Demand from paper mills and packaging makers
Fuel and transport costs to move the carton
Quality: dry, clean carton is worth more; wet or oily carton is worth nothing
Quantity: bigger loads are cheaper to collect

How to get today’s carton price

We publish one price per kilo and pay it to every seller, with no haggling. Today’s price is always on the Reearnify app and our WhatsApp channel, or you can simply message us on WhatsApp at 0708 734 1449 and ask before you book.

How to work out what your carton is worth

Multiply the weight by the price per kilo. For example, if you have 80 kg and the price is P naira per kg, you get 80 × P. A chest-high stack of flattened cartons is usually around 50 kg.
