We recycle cardboard boxes by taking them apart, laying them on weeds and spreading mulch over them. The cardboard helps keep the weeds down and eventually composts into topsoil. I took the box the 55″ monitor came in apart, put in on some weeds, and covered it with mulch — it took six wheelbarrow loads of mulch to cover the box.

While I was checking out the garden this afternoon I came across a blue dragonfly, a black and white butterfly; the fly catcher was busy catching bugs, and Disneyland had a decent bloom.
