MAILING YOUR CARTONS FOR RECYCLING

Whether it’s two or twenty, send them in packaging that is most convenient for you. Carton Council has confirmed FIRSTAR FIBER it is currently accepting cartons via mail.

Firstar Fiber

10330 “I” Street; Suite 100

Omaha, NE 68127

Here’s how to mail them:

1. Make sure your cartons are: empty, dry, and keep straws in and caps on, if that applies. Flatten your cartons to save space. 

2. Address your cartons to the facility and attach proper postage. Write “CARTONS” on the front of your package. Please note that locations are not able to confirm receipt of packages. When shipments arrive at a facility, the cartons are emptied from the box and deposited with cartons already at the facility and the shipping box is recycled.
