Corrugated Cardboard & Boxboard

Cardboard boxes must be emptied and flattened. Office staff must place boxes next to the recycling bins inside buildings. Custodial and housekeeping staff will bring boxes to designated cardboard dumpsters located outside. Large amounts of cardboard boxes from dining and maintenance areas should be brought directly to the cardboard dumpsters outside.

PLEASE DO RECYCLE:

• BOXES MUST BE EMPTIED & FLATTENED.
• Corrugated cardboard - has the "wavy" layers inside
• Pizza boxes are okay.
• Soda or beer carton carriers.
• 6-pack, 12-pack or 24-pack boxes

PLEASE DO NOT RECYCLE:

• Wax coated boxes, such as broccoli boxes.
• "Yellow" cardboard
• Pizza crust, food, napkins
• Excessive packing tape or duct tape

Cardboard is delivered to the Chittenden Material Recycling Facility, sorted from other types of papers and shipped to mills for recycling into new carton boxes.
