His resale cost of the cardboard does not even break even on collection
cost.

Gets rid of most of the cardboard waste and also saves them on buying
'polystyrene peanuts' for packing.

quite well. Have a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9JHbRpwbwQ

Converting cardboard to worm casting is a great form of recycling.
