Re: What exactly is "cardboard" [recycling question]

1- I have huge electronic/PC/monitor etc cardboard boxes. Do I have to break the boxes or can I pile them unbroken at the collection point?

2- Also what is the procedure for disposing the large Styrofoam blocks that are found inside such boxes? Where am I supposed to throw them?

3- Anyone have the link to the ZH site that has collection dates info?
The answers to these questions will vary according to your community's rubbish policy.

In Thalwil (according to our 'Rubbish Calender' issue by the town hall):

1) We have a collection of cardboard once a month. Cardboard should be folded flat and tied with string if necessary.

2) We have a twice-yearly Styrofoam (Styropol) free bring and deposit.

3) Check you local community website/office for info.
