Burtchino,
I don't know enough about your situation to advise you. But in general, roll-off containers aren't used for collecting cardboard. A loaded 40yd may hold about 3 tons loose. Take into account the container drop-off and collection and its tough to make a buck there. Roll-off compactors are used by some waste companies for collecting OCC but that costs money and it may sit there for weeks before getting filled. If your customer dumps other recyclable materials in the container it can get messy and time consuming to sort especially when wet. It really depends on what you can get for the materials and what your time is worth. A baler is always worth it because you get much more than selling loose OCC plus there are more buyers you can sell to. Sorry I couldn't provide you more insight. Good luck.
