Doesn't it go out with your normal recycling?


The recycling wheelie bin is already full with other things. Amazon sending
multiple-cubic-feet boxes of scrunched up brown paper (which can't be trivially
compressed) means they rapidly fill any remain space in the bin (which being
tall and narrow isn't really designed for cardboard and so lots of space is
wasted).

The LA will take extra cardboard adjacent to the bin if roughly the same
shape and tied together, but won't take wet cardboard. So no good if it
might rain overnight, nor if windy. And storing it for two weeks is a
problem (can't store outside as it'll get rained on).
