I just use them as a makeshift trash can (trash box?) for other cardboard stuff. That way it's never dirty enough to be unusable but I don't feel bad for throwing it out whenever it fills up because it was already used twice.

I have had a job possibility for 3rd shift. Seems like its not going to go but started to clean out my office to put a futon in to cover the possibility. Been going through things like this a lot.

Last time my wife and I moved, we spent a ridiculous amount of money on large boxes and totes and stuff for packing. After that, I definitely feel a bit of pain breaking down a large sturdy box for the recycling bin, but it's just not worth the storage space.

We do still keep boxes for high-dollar items that have special packaging like TVs and other electronics. Both in case we need to move them, and it generally bumps the resale price if you have original packaging.

I have never had such an argument. Mostly cause the boxes that arrive at my home are pieces of shit.
