Lets talk boxes. What do you do with yours? It is a constant challenge to keep on top of the boxes here due to online ordering. Everytime one gets cleared out, it seems like two replace it. I just got another one yesterday. I know some of you, Amber especially, probably get more boxed than I do. What do you do with yours? I flatten them eventually and then take them to the recycling center here. However, one of the last times I was there..the cardboard containers were full, and I was forced to drive around with the cardboard! Fortunately, that doesn't happen too often.

@snowy22315 - I am glad they come to the houses to collect stuff here. In Switzerland we had to bring the paper and the glass to the recycling centers.

We don't have a recycling center in town. Maybe not in Marion, either. I do not know. I just take it to the dumpsters where the city has the garbage trucks parked. I am just beginning to get into more online ordering besides my occasional Amazon.

Yeah, I do have an awful lot of boxes. I keep quite a few to re-use them, and right now I have quite a few in my nearly empty bedroom closet. Of course, a lot of them just end up broken down, in the trash because when I went to the recycling lot and the cardboard dumpsters were over flowing.

I reuse a lot of them for donations and I also take them to the auction with me. People grab them up to help gather their stuff

If I think I can use it again I keep it ….put it in the carport.
Otherwise it goes in the recycling ….

I am still dealing with the aftermath of the age chair they fought the box in.

I don't really order that much. But what boxes I can't use for something, I flatten and the recycle takes them.

I use what I can, but it seems like when you store in boxes, you can never get rid of them or use the stuff in them, or you don't know what is in there etc.
