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)

I un scrunch it and take it back to sheets that then seem to disappear
in with the ordinary cardboard / paper?

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).

It might hold more if torn into squares the area of the section? Might
be quicker than the alternatives?

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).

You must be getting quite a few large deliveries then?

We get a few and initially they (the smaller ones) are de-taped and
labeled, flatpacked and put into a 'Bag for life' indoors with any
paper or cereal boxes etc. Once full it gets put in the recycling bin
outside.
