FIELD GUIDE

Cardboard Recycling Preparation

Keep corrugated material clean, dry, flattened, and separated to improve recycling options.

Answer first

Keep corrugated cardboard dry, flatten it, remove loose packing materials, and separate food-soiled or waxed material.

Keep it dry

Wet cardboard loses strength, adds weight, and can make storage and handling harder.

Separate contamination

Remove foam, plastic film, food residue, trash, wood, and other packing materials instead of hiding them inside boxes.

Describe the volume

Provide bale count, bin size, stack dimensions, or a clear comparison so the amount is understandable.
