To recycle a corrugated container you need to remove all contents including plastic[plastic?:Plastic sample cutting machine] bags and styrofoam. It is okay to leave tape, labels, and staples on the corrugated because the recycling mills have the capability of removing these items during the pulping process. The carton[carton?:carton box sample cutting machine] then needs to be flattened, so it will fit through the slot of the specialized corrugated container. Most all recycling companies now use slotted pad-locked containers to cut down on contamination of non-recyclable items being deposited into the container.
Not all cardboard containers are recyclable.
Some containers are coated or impregnated with wax or a chemical referred to as wet strength, which gives them the capability of being refrigerated. Vegetables and meats are shipped to grocery stores and restaurants in this type of container. Waxed corrugated is not recyclable with regular corrugated and should be discarded into the trash. In some areas carrier stock is also not recyclable. Carrier Stock cartons, (what soft drinks and beer come in), do not have a wax coating you can feel but you can refrigerate them without the cartons becoming soggy. Many paper[paper?:paper sample maker cutting machine] mills do not allow carrier stock cartons to be included in any of the grades they accept because they will not break down to individual fibers in the pulpier when being processed in the re-manufacturing process.
