There's just many uses for a good cardboard box!
!
[ALERT]
Break it down, fold it flat, store it. They're handy when you move. Shipping tape to set them back up and seal them for the move.
Just don't hoard. If you don't have space or you have more than you need, trim your stash down.
This is happening to me with crystal jars... I have to trim the stash from time to time...
STICK EM IN A STEW
Terrible way to get your fibre in… lol
but it's definitely a way
considering boxes are like a few dollars each, it's a good strategy.
Depends on whether there's a cat in your household.
It's just by brainhole fighting consumerism & single-use shit much of the society/economy is built around.
I dont debate anymore, it depends on how tall the box tower is now, if i cant add it to to the tower, then it goes in the bin.
My secret is I'll use as many boxes as I currently need and then breakdown the rest except for the best box of them all. That magnificent construction of wood pulp, glue, and well engineered folds is what holds the broken down boxes. Once that is filled up I take it to my local recycling center.
One box to hold them all, and in the darkness bind them.
IMO, it's only a good cardboard box if it can be folded back down and stored flat. Weird shapes, extra thick walls, or stapled construction types suck to store.
What else will hold the collection of cables from the last 25 years? I might need to connect a dot matrix printer again at some point, you never know.
