By now, everyone has received the new blue box pickup echedule (once ever'y-other week) that also indicates what may be included for pickup. Let me emphasize that the 'New Xde must be flattened and bundled no larger than 4-ft..by 2-ft. by 2-ft. Unlike garbage trucks, recyling trucks do not h ave a crusher, so if corrugated cardboard is improperly set out, it may not be taken.
