What and Where Can I Recycle?
Introducing a new feature to help you find how to
Reuse and Recycle hundreds of items. We hope Recyclopedia will help you recycle more!
Boxes, Corrugated Cardboard
Reduce/Reuse
Some gardeners use flattened cardboard boxes for mulch, with wood chips or shredded bark on top of them. They make an excellent weed barrier for a whole season, much better than the wood chips or bark alone. With the tape and stickers removed, the rest will gradually decompose.
Recycle
Place curbside on your recycling day. Empty them of plastic packing materials first. Smaller boxes can be put inside one another. Big boxes should be flattened and stacked, or bundled with twine. Plastic packing materials must be disposed of or recycled separately.
Disposal
Please recycle.
Frozen Food / Wax Coated Boxes / Containers
