Cardboard can be recycled on campus. The only cardboard recycling bin available for academia is outside the receiving dock at the Central Stores and Maintenance building at the corner of John Q. Hammons Parkway and East Grand St. next to Plaster Sports Complex.

What is Cardboard?

Corrugated "cardboard" is a strong, versatile packaging material that is universally accepted for recovery and recycling. Corrugated packaging material is generally referred to by the general public as “cardboard” and by the industry as Old Corrugated Cardboard (OCC).  

OCC is made from two strips of flat cardboard on the top and bottom, and a wavy "corrugated" or fluted strip running through the center. It is most commonly found in boxes used for packaging and shipping items.

Paperboard (flat, pressed, stiff paper used in cereal boxes, for example)--also often called cardboard by the general public--does not have flutes, is of a lower quality paper, and is often coated. Paperboard, by definition, is not OCC and, therefore, should be kept to a minimum in an OCC collection program.

PLEASE NOTE: paperboard may be placed in normal paper recycling containers. Please do not place paperboard into the cardboard recycling bin.
