Hi Susan, Greasy pizza boxes and dirty cardboard is NOT accepted. Clean, empty cardboard IS and it is fine to leave on the tape. This is taken off at the recycling center. The paper/cardboard recycling is at the back of the Transfer station, near the other mix recycling and trash. Please see https://www.lincolntown.org/DocumentCenter/View/44794/Transfer-Station-Guidelines-2021?bidId= for more details. Thanks so much, Staci
