Voila, done. No need to tie up the boxes together. (Our recycling trucks are rather picky about this). We live int he country and even here there are drop bins at the local gas stations etc..

We recently got a pressure washer and I was forewarned by my hubs that I do not need to advertise that we just got a new one. So instead of waiting a week in between pickup's I broke the box down along the seem lines and re-assembled it inside out and flattened. I then made sure it would not re-open by placing the recycle boxes on top of Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07015227766405288025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1731204445266420681.post-54328728445150451932012-10-05T10:09:00.207-04:002012-10-05T10:09:00.207-04:00Or do what we do, keep the box for the kids to pla...Or do what we do, keep the box for the kids to play with until they destroy it to the point where you can't tell what the heck came in it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03495796091157215318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1731204445266420681.post-26758261843595394092012-10-04T20:51:46.666-04:002012-10-04T20:51:46.666-04:00This is so timely!

My husband made a comment tonight that hopefully nobody will case our house based on all the Nintendo, laptop and cellphone boxes that we are finally getting rid of.
