Reuse
Cardboard boxes are ideal for moving and often in demand. Try advertising boxes for reuse on online re-use networks such as Freecycle or Freegle.
Recycle
Please make sure cardboard is flat, and remove tape and staples from the cardboard.
You can recycle cardboard:
- in your green-lidded recycling bin
- in the cardboard container at any Suffolk Recycling Centre.
Please make sure cardboard is not wet when you put it in your recycling bin.
Recycle as home compost
You can put cardboard into your home compost bin as a particularly good way of reducing smells and increasing the effectiveness of your compost bin, since it provides air pockets. It's more effective if scrunched into handful sized bits.
