We put them along with glass, plastic and aluminum in a recycle can the city gives us along with the trash can and yard waste can.
Then some homeless bum comes by and takes the aluminum out of it so the city ends up losing the only real source of revenue from recycling....

I burn most all of my paper products. But, I take newspapers ect. to the recyclers as well as plastics. I also take aluminum, copper, batteries and that sort of thing to a metals company for cash.
Whatever's left goes to the dump.

We recycle everything that we can including paperboard. All of the paperboard and paper goes to the church where the youth group makes money from it. The aluminum cans go to the scouts for their fundraising.

i wish they had a recycling program here, i would recycle if they did, but right now its just throw everything in the dumpster. what would you expect from a town of 30k people that hardly has any sidewalks just to walk somewhere instead of drive?

I use any small empty paper-board products, such as cereal boxes, Kleenix boxes, etc. as mini waste baskets, and toss in recylables.
Then it gets tossed into the recycle bin for the man with the big white noisey truck to be picked up.

Recycle. We don't have recycle pickup, but the recycle center is just a mile or two down the road (small town), so every couple of weeks or so the truck gets loaded up with all the recycleables and taken down.
