Can I leave cardboard boxes out for curbside collection as long as they are next to my recycling bin?

No.  The driver will not get out of the truck to collect cardboard boxes that are beside the containers. All recycling must fit inside its container so that the lid closes. You may need to cut boxes into smaller pieces so that it fits. Another option for residents and businesses , is to bring carboard boxes to the transfer station,  or to the corrugated carboard collection point at 257 Messer Street.
