As your internet impulse buys start showing up at your door this week - don't forget to break down your boxes and recycle them properly!
Many of our communities have curbside recycling that makes it convenient to get your cardboard where it needs to go. For those without access to that service, cardboard boxes can be recycled at the following locations:
- The Lenawee County Drop Off Site, Corner of Race & River streets, 307 River Street, Adrian, MI 49221.
- Large amounts of cardboard should be taken to Goodwill Industries, 1357 Division Street, Adrian.
- For those who live in Morenci, there is a cardboard dumpster at the Department of Public Works Building.
Most recycling services ask for boxes to be flattened, and for all tape to be removed. Large boxes should be broken down into smaller pieces to fit into bins and compactors. Remember to remove all bubble wrap, cellophane, plastic film and bags, air pillows and foam packaging (try to put these materials to use before putting them in the trash).
