News brief: Cardboard recycling

Posted on October 30, 2008 by Staff

Orange County curbside recycling will begin accepting corrugated cardboard on Monday.

Corrugated cardboard has three layers with a wavy inner layer. To be recycled from curbside, the cardboard must be empty, flattened and cut or folded into pieces no larger than three-feet-by-three-feet. There is a maximum of 10 pieces per collection day.

Cardboard should be placed between two recycling bins, under one bin or inside the recycling bin devoted to “all paper.” Larger pieces must be taken to a recycling drop-off site or solid-waste convenience center. Cardboard contaminated with paint, oil, food or other substances should be placed in the trash.
