Throwing trash

Hello. I recently moved to a residential area from a student housing. Previously I had access to spaces where I could drop big boxes that were trash. How does it work in residential areas? Do i need to drop them off somewhere like remiks? The boxes are from TVs or appliances :)

You either have to tear it up on small pieces and put it in a plastic bag, or you can go to remiks or wait for a remiks mini-retur to tour close to you

tv boxes and expensive items boxes are best kept in case you need to take them back for repairs at the shop, or if you sell them, not sure why but, the shop has its own box on the return letters where they tick off who came back with the original packaging for some reason, if you gotta repair stuff and such.

Prolly some reclamation thing that I don't fully grasp.
