Now that all your holiday presents are unwrapped, the Highway Division of the Belmont Public Works Department asks that residents recycle all of their cardboard in the following way:
- All boxes must be flattened with a dimension smaller than 3 feet by three feet (3’X3′) about the size of your average four year old.
- The cardboard must be cut, not folded, to make the above measurement.
- If you have a great deal of cardboard, tie or tape them in stacks not higher than nine inches wide. Residents can leave an unlimited number of stacks for pickup.

As a resident who recycles over 90% of household waste, the paper recycle regulations in Belmont are ridiculous and onerous. It’s time for single-stream recycling in this town. Let’s stop living in the last millennium!!!
