The Season for Cardboard Boxes Approaches

As the holiday season approaches, our homes will not only be filled with family, food, and cheer, but it will also become scattered with festive packaging – especially cardboard boxes. While it’s tempting to toss them into the trash and just be done with it, recycling cardboard boxes is an easy way to celebrate sustainably. Cardboard is one of the most recyclable materials, and recycling it helps conserve natural resources, save energy, and reduce landfill waste. Start by breaking down your boxes and removing any non-recyclable materials – plastic air pillows, packing peanuts, and bubble wrap. Next, flatten the box to fit inside your recycling cart. And make sure the lid can close. It’s that easy!

If you wish to keep your boxes, you can be creative with your cardboard this holiday season. Use larger boxes for DIY projects like making craft decorations. You can also use larger boxes to organize and store your Christmas lights and ornaments. Smaller boxes can be repurposed as unique gift boxes that add a personal touch to your presents.

Incorporating eco-friendly practices into your holiday traditions not only benefits the environment but also sets a positive example for friends and family. This year, let’s embrace the spirit of giving not just through our gifts, but also through our commitment to a greener planet. For more information on cardboard recycling, go to FlatCardboard.com.
