Can't tell if our town has paper recycling?

We just got married and moved to a new town, and I don't think we have paper recycling . . . our apartment complex (and all those in the area) have a dumpster for comingled recycling, and a dumpster for trash.  The trash dumpster says ___'s Waste Management and Recycling.  Does this mean it's sorted our later?  It breaks my heart to throw away all the cardboard boxes we used in moving . . .

Re: Can't tell if our town has paper recycling?

  • Put your moving boxes on Craigslist or Freecycle, someone will come get them and reuse them.
  • Apartment complexes in my town don't have recycling (there is a dumpster) even though my town has a really good recycling program. I live in a house and we do have 2 reclycling bins. The town has sites where you can recycle unlimited amount of paper, glass, yard waste.... Visit you city's website to know more about what is offered.

    I also agree about your boxes being reused by someone else. A lot of people are looking for them.

  • I don't know the answer to your specific question on if they separate after pickup but if you check out earth911.com you can find locations to drop off your cardboard (or anything for that matter) near you. 
  • Visit your town's website or call the company name on your dumpsters to see what recycling services they offer.
