The City of Torrance has a wonderful recycling program – and it gets better – if you like to recycle you most likely know that the current 64-gallon grey recycle cans are usually too small. Now you can get a new 96-gallon recycling bin for FREE from the city of Torrance. You can either exchange it or add it to your current inventory of trash bins. It’s an easy step – just go to this link and order yours today! Here’s more recycling information from the City of Torrance.
The following items can be recycled in this program:
Newspaper, Cardboard and Mixed Paper
Catalogues, magazines with staples, glossy paper, junk mail, computer paper, juice boxes, pizza and bakery boxes, corrugated cardboard as well as thinner cardboard like cereal and cracker boxes are included. Do not include paper cups or plates, napkins, tissue paper, fast food wrapping or shredded paper.
Aluminum, Tin and Metal Cans
Cans from drinks, soup, pet food and vegetables as well as empty aerosol cans are included. Clean aluminum foil and trays and wire hangers can also be recycled. Do not include scrap metals from plumbing or construction materials.
Plastic Containers
Only plastic bottles, bags or containers with a number 1 through 7 on the bottom can be recycled. Examples include soda bottles, milk jugs, shampoo bottles and butter tubs. Large styrofoam pieces can be included too. Do not include small styrofoam pieces (called popcorn or peanuts), or any bottle, bag or container without a number.
Glass Bottles and Jars
Glass bottles and jars of any color can be recycled. Do not include glass dishes, light bulbs or window glass.
Other curbside recycling tips:
We encourage residents to recycle whenever possible. Additional recycling bins are available free of charge for residents who have extra recycling that does not fit into one recycling bin. If you have the small, 64-gallon recycling bin and wish to replace it with the larger, 96-gallon recycling bin, click here for the request form.

I live in Torrance and if it were me I would bundle up the boxes and put them out w/ the “Recycling Can.” Or – there is a company that sells at a discount recycled boxes for moving. I would google that and find out who that is.
Maybe you sell them to them?
good luck,
Kelly
