Dispose of with general waste: Most cosmetic boxes are coated with plastic or other materials, making the paper box non-recyclable.
How can I tell if the box has a plastic coating?
Candy boxes with a plastic coating often have a shiny or glossy appearance and may feel slippery to the touch. Regular cardboard boxes often have a matte finish and can absorb moisture. Alternatively, try gently tearing the box. If you see a plastic film on the inside, there is a plastic coating.
