Consider art and science reuse projects with littles before recycling. If food-soiled or wet, compost paperboard. Paperboard covered in metallic foil belongs in the garbage.
Paperboard Boxes/Tubes
Paperboard is a single layer of pressed boxboard and is typically used for retail packaging. Some examples of paperboard packaging include cereal, tissue boxes, bakery boxes, and cake mix boxes.
