jmohme Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 As I have probably already mentioned somewhere on this board, My wife is an Amazon junkie and the cardboard boxes are becoming a problem. One of todays amazon deliveries was a fairly large box. I opened it for her and four several layers of bubble wrap protecting a smaller cardboard box, so I opened it and found yet another box containing some cast iron cookware. Fortunately those delicate cast iron items were well protected in shipping! Does Amazon get some sort of kickback from the cardboard box suppliers? I'm really thinking about finding a used cardboard baler! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batesmotel Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Break them down carefully. Then put them ALL back together and fill the front yard with them on her birthday. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could ship it in smaller, more "form fitting" cardboard, though, like firearms manufacturers do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 We throw them into the basement, piled to the ceiling, until we look like hoarders. Then we have beer / burn soiree in the backyard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT4494 Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 In the south you need to break them down and get rid of them ASAP. Roaches LOVE the glue and thousands can eat on one box.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar_ml Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Last week I received a box that had gotten pretty smashed up. It was about 6" deep, 8" wide, 14" long. Inside was a bunch of the big air pillows, and a 24" grease gun hose that would have easily fit into a packing envelope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.Cicero Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I just use them to keep the weeds down between raised beds in the garden, and as a base for lasagna gardening. The little ones go to the burn barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now my inner fat kid, ok my outer fat old man, is suddenly mighty interested in gardening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
