Additional Cardboard Recycling Information


Not mentioned in the WNJ article on Wilmington recycling was the the plan to allow non city residents and commercial entities to also dispose of clean, flat, corrugated cardboard at the drop off point near the landfill office.
Remember, you are not just saving finite resources, adding useful life the current landfill cell but also helping to keep solid waste fees at the current reasonable levels.
It is estimated that the effect on the environment of recycling one ton of cardboard saves about nine cubic yards of landfill space, 700 gallons of water and forty six gallons of oil.
