Want to know why it takes longer and longer to clean up after Christmas? It’s because you keep accumulating ornaments and decorations that you just can’t get rid of because they’re so precious and dear!
My recycling bin is bigger than my garbage bin, but it is only picked up on alternate weeks. A month ago, I bought and installed a new commode and completely filled the bin with the cardboard packing.
My late wife used to complain about all of the boxes we received, she hated throwing them away. Finally our city is recycling them along with newspaper, have to take it to them but it is a start.
I live in an apartment, and still recycle boxes. I have to take them to a recycle dumpster about a block away, so I wait until I have enough to justify driving there. If everyone here recycled their boxes, the dumpsters would need to be emptied more than once a week, and the trash dumpsters wouldn’t need to be emptied 4 days a week.
As someone who did much of his Christmas shopping online again, I would like to apologize to all the world’s trees. Make sure to recycle if you can’t reuse, people.

Cardboard boxes are cat traps. If I fits, I sits.

Cut them down and bind them up. Post on Kijiji or Nextdoor.com “Free boxes for Moving”
They will go fast .
Just another “Been there, Done that” from The Illustrious Muffi!

I need to get rid of a bunch of decorations I don’t use anymore. I accumulate and accumulate and now have no space left.

Just put used kitty litter and doggie poo in the boxes, tape ’em up, leave ’em out front and let the porch pirates take ’em.

what is wrong with taking a snap-off knife to break them down and then recycle them. That is what i do!
