DIRECTIONS

- Flatten cardboard (remove liners from cereal boxes, etc)
- Cut large pieces of cardboard to fit into the truck (no larger than 3 ft x 3 ft), flatten, and place between the two bins
- Papers with confidential information may be shredded and placed in a paper bag to prevent litter and then put into the paper bin
