Cardboard Recycling
To have your cardboard boxes picked up for recycling at curbside, prepare in one of the following ways:
Unfold, flatten and bundle boxes with twine or tape and place inside, next to or under bin.

Unfold, flatten and stuff smaller boxes into larger box (no larger than 18"Wx24"Lx24"H) along with other fiber items and place inside or next to bin.

You can also bring them to SOCRRA's Recycling Drop-off Center "as is" - no need to break them down, tie or tape them.
