Break them down and stack them up. Not a problem.
Burn barrels are a thing too. |

Once I've harvested the garden and put it to bed for winter, I'll shred some and mix them in as a soil ammendment. Good for worm beds too I've heard.

Better life hack is to do let them sit in the rain, but only after you toss them onto the side of any road that you don’t live on.
Now you don’t even have to pick them up! |

Quoted: Just finished watching Zeducation where the last clip mentioned the hassle of piles of cardboard boxes needing to be cut up. All you have to do is toss them outside a few days before pickup, wait for them to get soggy, then smush them down. how do they get soggy?? No rain here in 80+ days |

Break them down, stack them, and then burn them once a month or so.

I burn them in the fire pit. You can get some outrageously tall flames if you feed it right.

So "life hacks" are now "throw them outside". Amazing.
I don't want a pile of cardboard mush on the curb. I will just break them down like a normal person because it take about 15 seconds per box. |

That's why you only throw them outside when the wind is blowing really hard....that way they mush up on some other curb away from your house. |

I cut them up with a box cutter into smaller pieces and toss into my recycling bin.

I actually don’t have a problem breaking down cardboard boxes properly.
I don’t believe leaving them outside to get soggy then “smush” them up is a better solution. |

I save up the big ones and use them as weed blocker around the garden. Anything that hasn't biodegraded by the next spring gets tilled into the soil.

I stack them. And depending on what the weather is like I either keep stacking them until a trailer is full. Or I burn them. I would like to recycle them some time, they must have a value.

My garbage pick up company will pick up cardboard boxes if they are broken down. I don’t know how/if they track it but say I can put them out once a month.
I usually take them to the county recycling place since I drive by it frequently. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Procrastination combined with random biodegradation is not a life hack I submit that OP suggests planned biodegradation, which makes it environmentally friendly. You just have to shift your perspective a little. Procrastination is your word, not OP's. He's actually managing his time more efficiently. See what I mean?
