My roommate and I both order a lot from Amazon consequently we have many boxes around here. I try to utilize most of them in some way, but I have lots that are sitting here empty taking up space. I need to take them to the recycling center. Do you ever have extra boxes around?

I don´t buy so many things so as to have too many boxes. I mostly spend my retirement money in food and bills

Well one of the boxes that just came was a box for my cat's special food. Also, my sister sent me some birthday presents in a box.

@snowy22315 If a box comes to my life, I place it by the garbage can (not inside). The people who come for the garden take then to special places and they get some cents for them.

@marguicha That works! Some places in other states pay for recycling bottles and plastic containers.

The kids at home love to play boxes and throw anywhere so there aren't boxes here.

Well since, I am planning a move, I am using most of them..but looking around right now, I see 4 empty ones. I will take them to the recycling I think, because I am sure they will be replaced!

Well these aren't nice but they are serviceable. Christmas boxes and the like, I agree with you.

@snowy22315 I've also kept a couple of Christmas tins which I thought I might fill with home-made biscuits this year for gifts.
