Cardboard is combustible and could burst into flames with no apparent accelerant. In addition, roaches like the glue used to hold cardboard boxes together so it’s like ringing the dinner bell for them. Since your garage can get pretty humid, cardboard and paper can get soggy. Mice and other pests can make nests with both. The bottom line is get plastic storage bins and if you need to store any kind of papers or cardboard put them in the containers.
