Yes, recycle: clean shipping boxes, cereal and snack boxes (without plastic liners), tubes from paper towels and toilet paper, and cardboard sleeves from packaging. Break boxes down so they lie flat.
Do NOT put in curbside bins: greasy or food-soaked pizza boxes, waxy drink cartons (unless your program accepts them), and boxes still full of plastic packing peanuts or bubble wrap.
