If the cardboard is not waxed, it is certainly possible, although a
chipper would be far from idea. Cardboard is one of the harder papers
to work with, honestly. I would only consider doing it if I had a tow
mixer or using a pressure washer to pulp it. I have done a small
amount of presoaked cardboard in my mortar mixer as well, but it takes
ALOT longer to pulp than other papers, especially newsprint.
Obviously, if it is free it may make all other considerations less. =)
