If you’re like me, you’re ordering from Amazon on the regular. Which means you have a ton of cardboard boxes.
You might have heard that the city of Charlotte has changed its rules for recycling cardboard. You’re supposed to tear them into squares 18 inches by 18 inches instead of breaking them down and putting them in the bin.
There is an alternative: Self-service recycling centers.
Instead of spending an hour tearing up boxes, I shoved them all in the trunk of my car and stopped by one of these places while running errands the other day.
They accept cardboard, paper, cans, plastic jugs and glass bottles. There are 7 of them.
