What to do with Cardboard boxes?

Have you just moved to Brevard and have tons of cardboard boxes?  Here are some options you can
explore:

1. Use cardboard in your garden to stop weeds - https://www.homesandgardens.com/gardens/using-cardboard-for-weed-control

2. Ask your new neighbors if they would need those boxes - if there is an online neighborhood group for your neighborhood, consider making a post to offer them there

3. Donate your boxes to a local UPS/shipping store that accepts used cardboard 

4. Home or small businesses usually need boxes for shipping their products - it is worth asking around 

5. Save some for your own future shipping needs

6. If you have a knack for crafts, do a search on the web - there are tons of ideas from the simplest to the most elaborate. Check this Pinterest board, for example:  https://in.pinterest.com/manishagokhale/cardboard-crafts/ 

7. Recycle them but FIRST remove stickers, staples, tapes, labels and break boxes down to fit in the recycle bin 

• Fill up your recycle bin every week to recycle them through available county/city curb recycling program

• Take them to one of the available recycling dumpsters in Brevard County listed under Single Stream Recycling Containers in the Brevard County's Solid Waste Department Recyclopedia:

There are probably some more good options that you may find when searching the web but remember to only place cardboard in your trash can if they are wet or soiled. Reusing or recycling whenever possible are always the best option!
