Cardboard

When recycling cardboard, the following steps should be taken:

1. All materials in the box (i.e., paper, Styrofoam peanuts, plastic wrap, etc.) should be emptied out of the box first.
2. All cardboard should be broken down by opening the bottom flaps before discarding it.
3. You can dispose cardboard at any time in the green 30yd container between the baseball field and the tennis courts, but if you should need help or have any questions regarding this, you can contact the Environmental Health and Safety Manager at christinen@usca.edu or extension 3538.
