Choose reuse when the boxes are still usable
U-Haul company-owned locations may have Take a Box Leave a Box areas, and its Box Exchange connects people offering and seeking boxes. Confirm the location and box condition first; neither option guarantees payment or an immediate taker.

Prepare cardboard for recycling
Empty the boxes, keep the cardboard clean and dry, and flatten it to save space. Check your local recycling program before taking it to a collection point, because acceptance and packing-material rules are local.

When outdoor pickup fits
For accepted empty cardboard already outside and accessible, Dropcurb handles loading, transportation and disposal. Select each loose, empty cardboard box individually, or one tied bundle for every 10 empty, flattened boxes. Add leftover boxes individually and remove packing materials. You can book before moving them outside, but they must be ready outdoors before pickup; if you need indoor carrying, choose a service that includes that labor.
