Thousands of large and small cardboard boxes are collected and recycled just a few days after the holidays. \u201cThis week\u2019s been pretty busy,\u201d said Leroy Sparrow, the Solid Waste Director in Tyler. \u201cThe guys told me they\u2019ve been pulling about five bales of cardboard a day.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the majority of recycling centers, like the one in Tyler, two bales a day is the status quo. \u201cOnce we have 40 bales, this is a perfect area, we stack them here,\u201d said Sparrow, gesturing to an outdoor space. \u201cWe contact Evergreen who is our current vendor, and they\u2019ll come with a semi – 18 wheeler – and haul them to whichever closest mill that needs it.\u201d<\/p>\n

On average, one bale can hold up to 800 pounds of cardboard. According to a report from recycling non-profit The Recycling Partnership, American households throw out 76 percent of items that could have been recycled.<\/p>\n
