Place empty cardboard boxes like shipping boxes in a curbside recycling cart or drop-off site container.
- Break apart and flatten boxes
- Labels, staples, and tape can stay on
- Discard any non-cardboard contents like foam or plastic inserts
- Only clean and dry cardboard - if wet or soiled, discard in garbage
- Keep items loose and do not bag or bundle
Where Else Could It Go?
Cardboard can often be composted for free at home, or through a paid program at an industrial-composting facility, such as Hillside Solutions.
