Looking for Cardboard Boxes

[noahgibbs]

Since I'm likely to be moving some time in the next few months, I'm looking for cardboard boxes. If anybody has them to spare, I'd love to know. Thanks!

If you have any friends in retail or food service, hit them up (especially food service). The daily deliveries of stuff generate hundreds of boxes that they just throw away, and they're often HAPPY to give them to employees.

I've been told that McDonalds' french-fry boxes are particularly good or heavy items. The fries come frozen, in a plastic bag, so the box is usually pretty clean, and frozen french fries are freaking heavy, so the box is pretty sturdy.

Bookstores get lots of boxes, too.

check with karenbynight, princeofwands and dangerpudding. I believe that they have a number of bankers boxes from their move.

Yup! We've still got a few dozen. Boxes are flattened, lids still assembled. Can bring them over this weekend if you'd like.

Yes! please, please, please take them!!

That'd be lovely! Thank you.

And if for some reason it doesn't work out for the weekend, I can come and get them on Wednesday.

Let me remind all concerned that we are having breakfast on Sunday. At whose house?

[angelbob.livejournal.com]

Mine's free, though I'm happy to go wherever.

We have EGGS! Oh My do we have EGGS! So, whoever's house, I can bring eggs. ;)

(Here is fine, we've got space and all that. Or not here. What time?)

ha! the back of my car is -full- of boxes from when Will moved in. He hid them in my car for the housewarming and keeps saying he may need them...

[angelbob.livejournal.com]

Well, if there's any he decides he doesn't need, I'd love to have 'em :-)

I don't have access to easily flattened & reassembled boxes... but I work in a reprographics shop. That means we go through thousands of pages of paper, and are left with dozens of empty boxes that used to hold paper. (We don't put the finished paper back in the original boxes; we put finished copies into Official Company Logo boxes.)

If you're interested (i.e. not swamped with other box offers), we can maybe work something out. (I work in SF.) Or you can go visit Kinko's and Copy Central & the like, and ask them if you can take away their empty boxes... generally, they'd *love* someone to haul them away.

Sounds like I'm gonna be good for boxes. Thanks for the offer, though!

Other sources...

Check Craigslist, as they often have moving cardboard boxes listed for free.

I'll ask my friend makellan whether he has a sufficient load of boxes yet for you to liberate; he recently moved.

We shall attempt to bring boxes to the party. :) We have some random spare ones still.
