I'm confused, Staci. Paper and cardboard used to have a separate container at the dump [sorry, I know it's not one but one syllable is so much easier than four, and everyone understands] but more recently, I thought cardboard goes in with the commingled paper, plastics, aluminum, and steel cans. Your messages says cardboard is "near the other mix recycling." Is there now (again) a separate place for cardboard (and paper?)
