You can just flatten them and leave them at curbside on recycle day. If it is windy, I'd put the other recycle bags on top of them. I also generally pick a larger box to leave intact and put all the flattened boxes inside it. The collectors have never objected to this, and I believe it actually makes their job easier. If you have good condition moving boxes, there are always other Villagers looking for them and would be happy to take them as well.
