How the eff do I recycle a pile of cardboard?!
Hi! New to Mpls here (NE, if it matters). We opted to not move most of our stuff (we moved back from across the country and it didn’t feel worth it to schlep stuff we didn’t love), so have now stacked up A LOT of cardboard after getting a bunch of new stuff.
We’ve flattened it, but the city recycling pickup didn’t wanna take it bc it doesn’t all fit in 3’x3’ boxes. We already spent like an hour flattening, and I don’t wanna keep dealing with cutting it - I’ve got more important stuff to do in my house/yard and also like…a job.
-The drop off city recycling (specifically the south transfer station) would also require us to cut down the boxes more than just flattening them, so that’s out.
-A neighbor told me we can also wrap the stack sections in twine, but our next recycling pickup isn’t for a couple weeks, and I want this gone sooner.
Is there a drop off site I can take stuff to (maybe a neighboring town?) that won’t be so picky on box size as long as they’re flat, or am I stuck just calling a junk hauler and tossing vs recycling?
Thanks in advance!
