#2 Drive-Thru Cardboard and Boxboard Recycling.  See SCHEDULE above for open times.  Bring your clean, broken-down cardboard (aka OCC) and boxboard (aka cracker, soda, cereal boxes) “drive thru” style on the schedule dates below.  Shiny is ok, however the dark-brown Wax boxes that are used for produce or heavy floor tiles are not recyclable.  The Wax coating can’t be removed to recycle the cardboard underneath.
