How to set out cardboard for collection

Please flatten and stack all cardboard. Please secure cardboard on windy days (a brick or rock works great!) Place cardboard pile in a visible location in the front of your residence.

Amount of cardboard allowable

We know some peoples' cardboard waste is different than others and waste may vary week to week. Any unreasonable amount of cardboard will be discussed with clients on an as needed basis. Cardboard from other households not paying for a service plan is strictly prohibited.

What we do and don't pick up

Only corrugated cardboard. We do not accept any shiny cardboard with print on it. We can not accept any cardboard with hazardous materials on it (oil, grease, paint, etc.) And again NO SHINY CARDBOARD. This includes cereal boxes, TV boxes, diaper boxes, anything with the shiny pictures on it. Pizza boxes are also not recyclable because of the grease
