Reply to comment by Donebrach in Who, exactly, makes these shitty yellow trash bags? by blup12

There's always two answers people give to this and neither one is satisfactory:

a) break it down - which would be a reasonable suggestion except that when you break down a TV sized box it takes up like 90% of the tiny recycling bin we get, so now you have no room for all your other reycling.

b) "Most towns won't pick up recycling you just leave on the ground." - Maybe so, but I'd bet most of those towns give you a recycling bin that's big enough to hold more than a single box.

They suggest that you stack the boxes flat and place them beneath or next to the recycling bin, similar to pizza boxes.

I've done this and literally watched from my window as the trash collector picked up the box and threw it back on the ground.
