They normally make their way to the recycling bin, but I did use a few of them for presents this year when I ran into a box shortage.
What do you do with your EF packaging?

You can cut the tape and knock them down, and then they're very small. Then you can use them for many things, including temporary props for wiggly ladders.

I recycle, but I try to order multiple toys at once to cut down on the number of boxes I will get.

I save the paper for shipping stuff and if I get a box that is reusable, I use it. Lately I have been getting only the Priority boxes that get destroyed in the process of opening them. Sometimes I give one to my cat, if he really likes it for some reason.

Some of the boxes are great for storing storing bottles of paint. Without them there would be paint Everywhere! Muahaha!!! But most of it just gets recycled.

Sometimes I'll let my rabbit use a box as a chew toy.

I've been saving just about every box that comes in the mail since I will be moving soon. Several of the boxes in my pile(s) are filled with various packing things, like the brown paper, peanuts, and those fun squiggly paper bits.
Some of them get thrown out if they get squished. My kids seem to think they are strong enough to use for chairs sometimes...

We save a couple boxes for shipping, and recycle the rest. The paper we use to line our bird cage, cover the floor under Zedd's (the bird) favorite perch, and we lay a few pieces on the floor for Cara, our cat, who's happier with paper and a broken nylon tape measure than any of the toys we've bought her.

I order a lot of stuff online, not just from here and I tend to save the bigger boxes for future use, smaller boxes get recycled right away. The plastic stuff I recycle if possible.

I throw some away, reuse some, and recycle some... it just depends.

i wait until i need to send someone in the family their birthday, anniversary, etc. presents i find the boxes useful to ship presents in since most of my family lives out of town. the boxes are strong and dependable

Currently, I have a stack of them that stands four feet high and three feet across, out along the wall in the garage. I have good intentions of breaking them down and taking them to the recycle center, but at this point it is getting out of hand. I might be out there quite awhile because there are boxes inside boxes and more inside of those boxes. Trash day is Monday. If they are still here by Sunday night, they just might go to the end of the road with the rest of the garbage. My husband is already hounding me about how I need a job to pay for my toy habit, and if he comes home and sees that stack bigger than when he left, he might get mad. But wait! The toys in the last order and this next one are for him !

Recycle or resend.
01/19/2011
Reuse whenever possible. Be it shipping or storing stuff.

The most creative thing I've done with my EF packaging is make a dance club for butt plugs.. lmao
Check it out
And yes, I have no shame.

My Man and I will use the brown paper for either catching peelings and junk while cooking. We give it to the little one to draw on, but lately she's been all, "I'm not a baby!" She thinks it's "baby paper" as I used to use left over brown paper for her art projects when she was little.
I've used the boxes from anything from shipping other things, to storing things in to just letting them pile up ("I'll use these, really, I will!!") My Man goes through them every few months and breaks them down and recycles them. I also should keep a few in my car as a flat surface in case I get stuck in the snow. Years ago, I used to carry cardboard in my car to help when I got stuck on ice or snow.
A lot of times, they get thrown behind the recliner in our bedroom.

I have a huge pile of boxes from EF and Amazon in my garage. It's funny because my mother comes to me whenever she needs to ship something, and when she picks an EF box I secretly snicker to myself

We recycle so much stuff in to an oversized trash bin that I usually have to get in there and crush it down. It makes me happy to know I'm doing my part. I just wish other neighbors would recycle more. It's so discouraging to see people throwing recyclable items in with their regular trash because they are too lazy to take it to one of the convenient drop-offs.
01/19/2011
I reuse them for shipping if they are salvageable after I am done mutilating them.
01/19/2011
Our city hasn't adopted a recycle program so we ditch it. We have a very small house and don't have room to keep it around.

I dont want to throw them out incase of those damn i need a cardboard box moments but their just sitting in my closet.
01/20/2011
Cardboard is my pet rabbit's favorite thing ever...now, she's never out of things to play with. Once I remove any tape, it's all hers.
01/20/2011
I recycle all my boxes.
01/21/2011
Definitely recycle or reuse.
01/22/2011
I used a few more of my EF boxes to send my sister a care package at college recently.

A kitty condo sounds brilliant! They are so expensive to buy, it sounds like a good way to recycle old boxes.
