Some of the most commonly recycled items are corrugated cardboard boxes, with around 77 percent of all boxes recovered and recycled into new products. When recycling cardboard boxes, there is no need to remove labels and tape from them -- those remnants are removed easily at the recycling facility and properly disposed of. Keep in mind that you should keep nonrecyclable boxes like pizza and shoeboxes out of the recycling bin. Those are often coated in waxy materials that make them nearly impossible to recycle.
