How to Dispose of Cardboard in Dallas, TX
Dallas treats clean cardboard as recycling-cart / paper, not plastic film. Do not use a grocery bag bin for boxes. Flatten, keep dry, and follow the city’s recycling set-out — City of Dallas Sanitation — Brush and Bulky Item Collection is the official program we verified; if that page only mentions bags, look at the recycling cart rules on the same city site. Greasy or wet cardboard is often trash or organics.
