Instead of throwing them out, here are some other ideas to utilize those boxes one more time.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give them to someone who needs them<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may have friends or neighbors who are interested in taking your used boxes. You can sell or give them away. Another option is to contact a charity organization that could use them. You may need to call a few places to find the right organization, but with persistence, you\u2019ll find someone in need.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recycle them<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most towns with recycling centers offer the ability for people to recycle large amounts of cardboard. You may have to drive it over to the location or they may be available to pick it up. You can find out specifics online or make a phone call.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use them for your garden<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cardboard boxes can be an excellent option for a compost bin because the cardboard will break down fairly well. The only real issue is that this will only take care of a box or two at a time, so you may want to do something else with the rest of the boxes you have available.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Activities for the children<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have kids, there are many ways you can use boxes for arts and crafts. Here are a few ideas that might work, depending on your children\u2019s interests and ages:<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create a track for miniature cars by unfolding a box and drawing some lanes.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make a playhouse or fort with any box of a reasonably large space.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make a lap art desk for traveling. You can use cardboard for the top, add a slot for a device, and some tubes or cups for supplies.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cover the floor under a messy art project like painting to keep it protected.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sturdy boxes can be used to make a lemonade stand.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Household uses for used boxes<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, there are some adult uses for boxes, as well. You can use these versatile items for many uses, some listed below:<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep a box and use it to put emergency items in your car. You can add chargers, flashlights, tools, and more.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Package gifts for birthdays or Christmas. Keep the boxes around for the holidays and you\u2019ll never have to worry about having the right box for a gift.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Place a portion of a cardboard box under your car if you think you might have a leak to protect the ground from stains and help determine where the leak is coming from.<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7331baa elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7331baa\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ae74490\" data-id=\"ae74490\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7013f35 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"7013f35\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/8eh3ggDU0S8&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.20.0 - 10-04-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-video .elementor-widget-container{overflow:hidden;transform:translateZ(0)}.elementor-widget-video .elementor-wrapper{aspect-ratio:var(--video-aspect-ratio)}.elementor-widget-video .elementor-wrapper iframe,.elementor-widget-video .elementor-wrapper video{height:100%;width:100%;display:flex;border:none;background-color:#000}@supports not (aspect-ratio:1\/1){.elementor-widget-video .elementor-wrapper{position:relative;overflow:hidden;height:0;padding-bottom:calc(100% \/ var(--video-aspect-ratio))}.elementor-widget-video .elementor-wrapper iframe,.elementor-widget-video .elementor-wrapper video{position:absolute;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;left:0}}.elementor-widget-video .elementor-open-inline .elementor-custom-embed-image-overlay{position:absolute;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;left:0;background-size:cover;background-position:50%}.elementor-widget-video .elementor-custom-embed-image-overlay{cursor:pointer;text-align:center}.elementor-widget-video .elementor-custom-embed-image-overlay:hover .elementor-custom-embed-play i{opacity:1}.elementor-widget-video .elementor-custom-embed-image-overlay img{display:block;width:100%;aspect-ratio:var(--video-aspect-ratio);-o-object-fit:cover;object-fit:cover;-o-object-position:center center;object-position:center center}@supports not (aspect-ratio:1\/1){.elementor-widget-video .elementor-custom-embed-image-overlay{position:relative;overflow:hidden;height:0;padding-bottom:calc(100% \/ var(--video-aspect-ratio))}.elementor-widget-video .elementor-custom-embed-image-overlay img{position:absolute;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;left:0}}.elementor-widget-video .e-hosted-video .elementor-video{-o-object-fit:cover;object-fit:cover}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-video,.e-con>.elementor-widget-video{width:var(--container-widget-width);--flex-grow:var(--container-widget-flex-grow)}<\/style>\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The move is over &#8211; the boxes are unpacked, broken down, and now taking up space.
