Commercial Cardboard Customers
To help us do a better job, we ask that you follow these simple guidelines:

• Flatten whenever possible!
• Keep trash out (Styrofoam, chipboard, plastic, other packing materials and garbage.)
• NO WAXED CARDBOARD. This is the single biggest contaminate we have to avoid!
• Keep packaging tape to a minimum- we must remove them.

We cannot allow our trash bill to rise because of corrugated contamination!
