Recycled Cardboard Boxes
Quality used, new, misprinted and overrun cardboard boxes. Why pay the high price of brand new boxes, when you will only use them once? And you don’t have to cut down a tree to make a used cardboard box! Wonderful idea and as much as people move around these days, timely.
If you’re buying boxes and not getting them in the alley behind the grocery stores in your town, then try Used Cardboard Boxes

We reuse all our packaging at our company. I love this used cardboard box idea. I have always asked local stores for the boxes I needed whenever I moved. I also wish the stores would do more about pushing people to bring their own bags. Bag bans are going into affect in San Francisco and being considered in other major cities. It needs to be more universal that all packaging, all bags, etc. must be recycled/reusable.
There’s no excuse for not taking your own bag. Many European nations have required this for years. I gave a friend one of my ChicoBags when she was heading back to Europe recently and she loved it and said that it came in handy because it was so small that she could pop it into her purse, it was lightweight, and it didn’t take up space in her suitcase. If people can take a reusable bag while traveling, they can certainly use them at home. Nearly every market is selling reusable bags and there are tons in catalogs and on the internet. There is no excuse for non-use. Besides, the only thing worse than having a zillion plastic bags pile up at home is dumping them out into the environment.
Same with boxes. Most people toss them because they don’t know what to do with them. If there was a place they could recycle the ones they won’t have continued use for, then someone else can save some money and the boxes get a second life.
