Let’s do our bit to love where we live by recycling right.
Cardboard boxes are one of the most frequently recycled items.
Did you know that simply by flattening your boxes, you can prevent the Bloobins from being filled up too quickly? This way, more items can fit in and unsightly spillovers can be avoided.
Here are some handy tips for cardboard recycling:
Step 1: Flatten your cardboard boxes
Step 2: If they’re too large, cut them into smaller pieces
Step 3: Avoid these unsightly spillovers by ensuring your cartons are flattened before throwing them into the Bloobin
