Sell cartons and cardboard in Ibadan
That pile of cartons behind your shop is money. Reearnify buys cartons and cardboard boxes from market sellers across Ibadan — Bodija, Oja Oba, Gbagi, Aleshinloye, Dugbe and every other market on our route. You do not carry anything anywhere: our driver comes to your stall, weighs your cartons on our scale while you watch, and pays you per kilo by bank transfer or cash before leaving.
Carton buyers who pay a fair, published price are hard to find in Nigeria. We pay the same rate per kilo to every seller, with no haggling, and every pickup is recorded in your account. Selling your cardboard instead of burning or dumping it also keeps your shop front and your market clean.
That is per kilo. The final amount depends on the weight on our scale. Current prices and updates are always on the Reearnify app and our WhatsApp channel.
How to prepare your cartons / cardboard
- Flatten every box and stack them. Flat cartons weigh the same and load faster.
- Keep the stack dry and off the ground — wet, mouldy or oily board cannot be accepted.
- Tape and staples are fine; just remove food remains, plastic wrap and foam.
- Aim for at least 50 kg before booking (about a chest-high stack of flattened boxes).
- Write today’s date on one carton and photograph the pile when you book.
What we never take
- Medical or clinical waste of any kind.
- Food waste, or anything soaked in food, oil, chemicals or sewage.
- Anything the seller cannot say where it came from.
- Wet, mouldy or oily cartons. Keep your board dry and off the ground.
- Anything still holding chemicals, fuel or paint, even an empty-looking drum.
- Anything sharp, broken or unsafe for the driver to lift by hand.
