Do: Recycle corrugated cardboard boxes, grey compressed cardboard (i.e. cereal and tissue boxes, paper towel rolls) and brown paper bags.
How: Clean boxes of excessive amounts of plastic tape. Staples need not be removed. Flatten the boxes and stack them inside one another. All paper items can set at the curb in one mixed paper load, separate from the garbage and the glass, plastic and metal recyclables.
Don't: Waxed cardboard (such as milk cartons), plastic and Styrofoam packing materials are not recyclable. Put these items in the garbage.
