Cardboard boxes need to be flattened and cut to 3' x 3' sections maximum. Place the cardboard in, or next to, the yellow recycling container. We recognize that it is sometimes difficult to flatten and reduce the size of cardboard. However, our recycling trucks can only accept material that is no larger than 3' x 3' in size. Also, the recycling trucks do not compact their contents. Thus, if cardboard is not flattened we would be carrying many empty boxes full of air causing multiple trips to the disposal site. This would add cost to your monthly services.
