Free Corrugated Cardboard Box Drop Off If you've got a garage full of cardboard boxes don't wear yourself out cutting them up to fit in your recycle cart and don't set them on top of the cart or lean them against it. That just ruins the cardboard and makes the driver late. From now through the end of January you can just flatten your boxes and drop them off at Republic Services, 3432 Gembrit Circle. They're open from 8 AM - 4 PM Monday through Friday. No charge.
