When I have a pile of boxes like that I just put them in the shed and cut them up and slowly fill remaining space in my bin on trash day til they're gone
I just take them to the back and side yard and use them for fire starters.
What other projects are you working on?

I slacked on firewood this year, sometimes I burn alot of it too. I only really have enough incase the power goes out this year. Not like it reallyy saves me much money to use the stove anyways.

We have a place that takes all cardboard for free. Also have a dumpster at the office that I can fill.
Cardboard is good to compost and i use it as “carpeting “ in the vegetable garden in the walk paths and it keeps the weed down.
I cannot stand when people don't break down boxes
You mean like when my kids put 3 of them in the bin and it's full when it could hold 40 broken down?
Agree

My wife just tosses boxes into the garage and waits for me to deal with it.
If the bin is full from unbroken boxes, mine does the same. Just opens the door and tosses it out.

Ugh my wife does that all the time
Good Lord where are y'all getting all these cardboard boxes???
I usually find ways to use it or they go in the trash bin but a couple times a year I end up with so much of it that they've just got to go. In that case, the waste transfer station has some recycling receptacles for things like paper, cardboard, etc and they go there (free to city residents but no one is out there checking IDs). After Christmas is a big one because most of our stuff comes via Amazon, and in this case I had the shipping boxes from Christmas in addition to all of the things we've bought for the theater room project like the shower pan and surround, flex duct, the vanity, the 6 pack of can lights, etc. Even broken down and ratched strapped down it was a full pickup bed.
You're wife is buying Jeep parts ??????
I would gladly breakdown boxes if my wife bought Jeep parts

My wife loves using the hackzall, she cuts up boxes with it.
Amazon, they are probably at my house 4 - 5 days a week. Yesterday they were here 3 different times along with fed ex.
They were stopping several times a day at my house leading up to Christmas. It was pretty ridiculous.
it is like that all the time here.
My dump fees here in SoCal run $40 per ton. I’ve never had less than a ton so I don’t know if there is a minimum fee. $5 for a loose tire. My truck and dump trailer are pre registered and weighed so I don’t need a weigh out. Before I registered I made sure the tank was full, placed tool boxes in the back seat and kept the heavy ramps on the trailer. Saves me a few pennies every time I go which is every 2 months or so. They are very strict on covers loads and won’t accept your load without a cover. Luckily my dump trailer has a built in mesh cover.
