What To Do With Boxes

In this age of the internet it seems that most of us order a lot of our needs online and have them shipped. This means we have more boxes than we know what to do with. The first and easiest thing to do with boxes is to put them out for recycling if your city has a recycling program.

What if your city doesn’t have such a program? You’ll need other ways to recycle your boxes (dropping them over the wall into the neighbor’s yard doesn’t count). If you have things that you don’t want anymore, try listing them on Ebay, when someone buys the item, use one of your boxes to pack and send it in. It’s almost like re-gifting a present you don’t want. You get rid of the unwanted item and the box too!

If you don’t have things to sell, advertise your boxes for free on a local online classified ad service. For as many people as there are trying to get rid of boxes, often there are just as many looking for them. Do you give a lot of gifts at Christmas time? Break your extra boxes down and store them flat until you can use them for Christmas presents. Boxes make great forts and kitties love to play in them. Why go out and by a hundred dollar cat tree when with a little craftiness you can turn your unwanted boxes into a cat tree your cats will love?
