Cardboard Recycling
One of the most frequently asked questions received by the recycling
office is “Why didn’t the garbage or recycling truck take my cardboard?”
Cardboard, which is
a state mandated recyclable item, is collected by the recycling
trucks only. To be collected it must be flattened, bundled and
tied in 3 ft. x 3 ft. sections with the bundles no larger than
8 inches thick. It must be bundled in order to fit into the side
compartment of the recycling truck.
All cardboard must be
recycled. Cardboard boxes cannot be used as trash containers
In addition to curbside
collections, cardboard along with any other paper products can
be dropped off at the Warwick
Municipal Recycling Facility
where they do not need to be bundled and tied.
