Cardboard is just a thicker, stronger version of paper. It is often used for packaging and to make boxes and other containers, because it is so
lightweight and strong.
It is important to recycle cardboard because, like paper, it is made from wood pulp from trees. Preserving forests benefits our rivers and lakes, as
well as the air we breathe. By recycling cardboard and paper, you can also save the homes of many different types of wildlife.
Your used cardboard will usually be recycled into new cardboard material for packaging and storage.
