The same piece of cardboard can be recycled up to five times, so if you have got a lot of boxes after Christmas then why not take the ones you cannot use again to your nearest recycling centre? Alternatively, keep large boxes for storing things under the bed or in the loft or for using whenever you, your friends or neighbours move house. Your local school or playgroup may use cardboard boxes for craft projects. Use a cardboard box to collect your other recycling in - then you won't have to separate it later! Shredded cardboard can be used for animal bedding, mulching and compost.
