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.
