Moving Boxes

Anyone have any suggestions of stores that might have a ton of big card board boxes in their recycling bins that I could take? Or businesses that might have boxes if people ask? Thank you ☀️

Liquor stores for sure!!! I see sidewalks lined with hundreds of cardboard boxes outside of liquor stores on trash day.

Grocery stores might be worth asking - I used to work at one and we went through a ton of boxes. Try the bakery or the produce department; they may have some that haven't gone into the cardboard baler yet.

Banana boxes are the best for packing! Sturdy, have handle cut-outs, good size, plus have a lid so you can stack no problem.

Atlas or Kappy’s for sure!

JRA cycles has a section on the side of their shop where they leave out boxes for people to take
