Cardboard Box Loading

  • Before recycling, make sure all boxes are clean and dry before loading them into your recycle container. 
  • Please do not overload your container. Make sure the lid closes completely and nothing protrudes from the container.
  • Break down boxes and load them so they fit loosely inside your container. 
  • When loading, orient broken down boxes front to back to avoid stuck materials caused by can squeezing from the truck. 
  • Do not place boxes in front of or around your recycle container. All items must fit inside your container.
