    I usually remove the tape because I assume that they're not recyclable (please correct me if I'm wrong). I usually break down all the boxes and put them in the largest box. It's good exercise if I have a bunch of boxes to break down plus it's neater for the haulers to pick up.

    I use my cardboard in craft projects then recycle what is leftover. We remove all tape which unfortunately is not recyclable in our area,

    I take my cardboard boxes plus packing material to my local UPS store so they can reuse them.
