Cardboard is taken by the Highland Council kerkside blue bin collection or can be taken to any of the main recycling centres such as Dingwall, Alness, Tain and Inverness.
Re-use cardboard as much as possible, e.g. using boxes for storage, posting parcels etc. Gardeners may wish to consider using some cardboard as a mulch, or, if ripped up/shredded, may add (often much needed) carbon-rich bulk to compost complementing the “slimy” nitrogen-rich kitchen waste. If you are interested in adding additional worms to your compost heap, place corrugated cardboard on a patch of ground for a few days to attract a collection of worms underneath, as they love the glue in the card!
