Cardboard Boxes Recycling & Disposal

✅ Recyclable:

• Most clean and dry cardboard boxes (shipping boxes, moving boxes, cereal boxes, etc.) can be recycled.

• Flatten the boxes to save space in the recycling bin.

• Remove tape, labels, and staples if possible (small amounts are usually okay).

⚠ Important Notes:

• Greasy, wet, or food-contaminated cardboard (e.g., pizza boxes) should go in compost (if accepted) or trash.

• Wax-coated cardboard (like some produce boxes) is generally not recyclable unless specified by your local recycling program.

• Some areas may require bundling or specific drop-off locations for large amounts of cardboard.

♻ Alternative Reuse Ideas:

• Use for storage or moving instead of buying new boxes.

• Shred and use as mulch or compost (if uncoated and non-glossy).

• Donate large boxes to community groups, schools, or moving services.
