Lifestyles have changed and people now have more cardboard at home than ever before.  Call it the Amazon effect, sometimes there's just too much for the cart.  Leaving extra material next to to the cart won't get it picket up, so we're making dropping it off easier!

Simply remove the packing material from each box, flatten it and then slide it right in the big green recycling container. These containers only accept cardboard (the brown material commonly used in the smiling boxes from Amazon). Those in the recycling business call it corrugated, and you can recognize it by the waved ridges in the middle. The flat thin material used to make your favorite cereal box is actually paper – not cardboard.
