Cannabis Depacking
Services in Missouri

Reduce waste by recycling responsibly

Depackaging is a commonly overlooked step in cannabis waste management, particularly during bulk administrative hold pickups or when disposing of expired products or products that have failed testing. While many are familiar with the consumer-facing packaging seen in a dispensary, unit-level packaging, which includes bulk palletized cardboard and boxes, containers, and internal materials used to store and transport products, must also be accounted for when considering destruction.

Unpacking Cannabis Waste for Proper Disposal

Whether you're managing a product recall or disposing of expired inventory, Monarch Waste Co. will make sure your cannabis waste is depackaged responsibly. Our team removes unit packaging on-site so your materials are ready for compliant destruction without slowing down your operations.

Supporting Compliance and Sustainability

Proper depackaging plays a vital role in:

  • Preventing contamination of compostable waste streams.

  • Supporting regulatory compliance with cannabis destruction standards.

  • Recovering recyclable materials for diversion from landfills.

  • Reducing total waste weight to lower disposal costs.

What to Know Before Scheduling

Depackaging is a labor-intensive process that adds significant time to each service. An additional fee is applied when depackaging is required, based on the volume and type of packaging involved. Monarch manages the process with care, ensuring proper separation.

Since depackaging also requires substantial space to complete, notify Monarch in advance if your waste stream includes unit packaging. Large-scale requests may not be possible without prior scheduling, and emergency depackaging is subject to availability.

To help keep service efficient and reduce costs:

Remove unit-level packaging
before pickup whenever possible.

Let Monarch know in advance
if unit-level packaged waste
is included.

Plan ahead for
high-volume needs.
