colinneil Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Do you not have pickups going around collecting it? Many areas do, we have cardboard or other stuff to recycle, i look out for a passing recycle truck, stop them, easy job done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I believe that 7/11's are recycling for helping to make hospital beds. Otherwise speak to your nearest 'recycler'. They will probably collect for free. Where are you based on the island? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you send me your address via a private message and give me details of where you are, I can send someone round with a motorbike/sidecar. They can move it for you. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post khunPer Posted July 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2021 If a dry day, just place it together with garbage bag(s), it will disappear within in short time, often hours before the garbage is taken away. If not dry it's best to cover cardboard against rainwater, i.e. if any plastic came with it then use that, or use a garbage bag, preferably transparent...???? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwill Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 There are recycling places all over. They look like junkyards with lots of big bags piled up. I either give mine to neighbors who are happy to take it so they can sell it. Otherwise I leave it by the garbage and let them get money for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mickeymaus Posted July 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2021 Do it the Thai way. Burn it with other garbage. Add a lot of plastic that it burns better. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bbko Posted July 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2021 In my area any cardboard (wet or dry) placed outside my front gate will be picked up by locals in a mater of hours. Also the garbage truck comes Wednesday mornings and if I place the bin outside the night before, any recyclables will be picked during the night and if I take it out in the morning the garbage men rip open the bags and pick out any recyclables. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailand49 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Take the biggest box or two you have break down the other boxes or cardboard and put them inside. Find a outside garbage can usually blue or yellow set it outside morning it will be gone. Of course this is rainy season so don't do it when it rains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pdib Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 If you have a housekeeper you could ask her or alternatively the guards or cleaners in your ‘moo baan’ to pick it up. They will be very happy to remove it for you, and they can make a little extra cash out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hammer2021 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Just put it outside your gate. It will disappear overnight. Cardboard is a valuable recycling item. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJ2U Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I usually just put it in our truck and take it to Makro. I do a little shopping then put the cardboard in the cart. Makro has a place around back where they store cardboard and eventually recycle it for money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
