Give Back Box

@LTT1 posted about this in Community Chat in March, but I thought with the New Year and the many closet purgers we have here, it would be a good rerminder.

Give Back Box® provides vendor services to retailers and charities, giving each and every cardboard box a second life to help people in need. So it is also a 'green' solution! Reuse your online shipping boxes in which you received your purchases, or any other cardboard box you may have, to donate your unwanted household items: such as gently used clothing, shoes etc., to make a major difference in the life of another person.

If you order online (as I do) it saves you the hassle of breaking down boxes for recycling (as I do) and driving boxes/bags to charity (as I dispatch BF to do ).

Thank you for the “shout out!”

As a matter of fact, this is another item I am dealing with this morning! One of our NEW methods of donation, PARALYZED VETERANS of AMERICA (PVA),

has a different system! Trying to “sort it” now in hopes that they will actually visit us for a pick-up this morning.

Really doesn't get much easier or convenient than this. Printer is required so that's the only drawback, we have one, but I never use it, so if it were to go kaput I probably wouldn't replace. DH uses and needs one for his work, that's why we have one.

Great stuff @lolakimono and @LTT1

Thanks for this info!!! I checked out the website and it seems like a great idea. Will keep it in mind the next time I'm drowning in boxes.

Don't watch much QVC but I love these forums. I've gotten a lot of useful advice/info here!

@lolakimono I ordered a top from Loft this morning and they asked me if I wanted to do that. I printed out the label but now I don't think I have a box. Recycled a pile of boxes yesterday. Hopefully I still have something.

I think it's a great idea. You can even schedule a pickup by USPS.
