Have you been doing a lot of online shopping over the past couple of weeks? Although packages are delivered year round, the holiday season means an excess of cardboard boxes are finding their way to our front stoops. But once the gifts that lie inside are taken out and re-wrapped, what is one supposed to do with so many empty boxes? Unless your items are too big to fit in a standard gift box or bag, chances are you'll toss the cardboard box to the curb.


This year, however, we encourage you to put your cardboard boxes to good use rather than let them take up space in your home until the next curbside pickup. See below for a few ways that you can do so:

1. Create home storage solutions by covering cardboard boxes in felt or fabric that match your home's decor.
2. Provide your furry family members with a cozy place to sleep by placing old blankets on the bottom and cutting out a piece of the box for easy entrance.
3. Cut out several circles or squares to make your very own set of drink coasters.
4. Make your own gift tags for this year's presents.
5. Design your own puzzle using one side of the box.

At Boro Wide Recycling, we believe that you should make the 3 Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle) an integral part of your everyday routines. That's why we highly recommend letting this year's delivery boxes stick around for a while! For a more detailed list of ways that you can reuse cardboard boxes, click here.
