Reuse or Recycle Unwanted Boxes

Compost insulation down the sides and back and over the top of the bin, worms love corrugated card, over the car windscreen to prevent frost. When our boxes finally are no good round Michael’s Original Luffa farm, we mix them up with bits from the luffa workshop, the hen house and give to the worms who repay handsomely with the starter soil for our baby luffa plants to help grow our biodegradable washing up pads….

In regards to arts and crafts, you missed the refrigerator-box space shuttle, which I think should be experienced by everyone at least once, although to be honest it probably isn’t all that green 🙂

This is one of the reasons I like shopping at BJs, as they recycle a lot of their boxes and allow members to use them to bring goods home. They also don’t use bags, which I am sure is more motivated by cost than anything else, but is still good for the environment.

I like to find some of the bigger boxes, use them to carry my food home, then use them to store things around the house.

Good simple tips. Today’s consumers use up a ton of materials on packaging. There is no reason for all those cardboard boxes to end up in landfills. Recycling is one of the easiest steps we can all take to making the world a greener place.

Are all cardboard boxes the same as far as being able to recycle them? Can you just take then to any recycling station and they are all acceptable?? The only reason I ask is that i just found out that all plastic isnt the same/cant be recycled together…
