Reusing And Recycling Cardboard Boxes

Tweet

In a previous discussion I mentioned that my husband and I recently got Amazon Prime. As a result of this we'll be getting a lot more deliveries, and those deliveries will mean a ton of cardboard boxes which we will no longer need. Since we live in a highrise apartment building with people constantly moving in and out, we got the bright idea to take our unpacked boxes down to the laundry room, and leave them for the next person who needs them. We remember when we moved in here, how desparate we were for boxes. At the time I frequented a local cafe, and they gave me all their old boxes from when they had baked goods and coffee delivered. That was a big help to us! Frankly, in this day of online shopping, no one should ever need to actually buy boxes from the moving companies. God knows people have plenty of them. Not sure what folks in houses would do, but if you live in an apartment building, I strongly urge you to put your empty boxes in a common area, so they may be made available to someone who actually needs them.
