Corrugated cardboard must be separated from garbage for recycling as of March 1.
Pizza boxes, however, may be thrown away or recycled if they are clean and empty.
The towns and the county will begin monitoring solid-waste collection to ensure that residents are using either curbside cardboard recycling or taking cardboard to drop-off sites. For curbside recycling, cardboard boxes must be flattened and emptied and pieces must be no larger than three feet square.
