I like to recycle sturdy boxes. They come in handy . . . mostly as trash cans.
I use this one when I'm lazy to walk to the real trash can.
This one is by my sewing machine. It's tall and slim and barely takes up any room.
This one is next to my computer.
This one is in the living room.
This box holds my scrap material.
And this one holds Kona's toys.
I bought this printer before I went to Japan. The box has become a table.

Haha, you the box lady, just like I am the bag lady!
Mich, I just cleaned out Wendell's dad's room. You shoulda seen how many boxes came outta there. Most were used to store stuff. Some were empty. I dumped um all. Had too many.
That is a brilliant idea. Don't know why I always thought it had to be a "rubbish can" in order to use it as a rubbish can. Thanks for the tip!
j: I love my boxes too, except I just keep 'em and w/ me going to COSTCO now, it's kinda piling up. But you never know when you need a box for something like storage. I also like unusual or different shopping bags....I've kept the ones you gave me from Japan. I just love Japanese shopping bags. I notice my mom is like that too so must've inherited that. I like to keep my goodies and small kine things inside them. -N
I don't know what it is with me and boxes but I have hard time throwing any out. I keep them all, all sizes, 'cause you never know when your going to need a box. At least you put yours to use.
Winnie
LOL. You're welcome, Aunty.
ME TOO, N! Those Japan shopping bags. So special. I cannot throw um away.
Winnie, I just threw away a whole bunch of boxes. Was hard to do, but I had to. Was just taking up too much space.
lol
What a great idea! Art keeps tossing them all in the recycle bin. He's never thought of reusing them this way. Hmmmm....
I love how handy you are Jalna! I do the very same thing in my house. I reuse every thing I can. Then after I acquire way too much junk, I later have to do a purge at times. ; )
I agree, Kat . . . kinda funny!
But Kay, it's the start of HOARDING . . .
Yah, Mark, once in awhile purging is needed.
J: sorry off topic but I saw this on my FB feed. Sounds ono yeah? Maybe It's Jenny will try it out!

OMG for real, N!!!! I want some of that action NOW.
Here is a reuse from me.
Ever wonder what to do with your meat grease when you pan cook on your stove top? You do not want to just pour the grease down your sink, it will eventually clog your drain! So I save all of my glass jars! The large pasta sauce jars work great for me because they are so big!
So after you cook your meat and you have all of that grease, you just pour the grease in your reused glass jar. Put the lid on to keep da stink in. And then you put it under your sink, until it's full.
Once your jar get's filled up with grease, it goes in your garbage can that you made from a re used box that you learned from Jalna!!! ; )
And den later into da trash outside, once you stop being so lazy and can actually go outside fo once an get some sunshine! Dat's good fo you ya know, once in a while! ; )
Sweet! No more clogged drains!
We do that too, Mark! I love your explanation . . . soooo funny!
I keep boxes too for the boys toys and just to put clutter in them until I can sort and put things in their rightful place, which isn't sometimes after a long while haha...but a lot still goes in the recycle bin. I like your purple box...I mean trash can : )
LOL, Susan . . . I like your "temporary" box idea.
Ha ha ha! Jalna, you're a hoot! I enjoyed all the comments here and...so funny! State of Oregon has excellent recycling program. I'm very pleased with that.
Thanks Akemi!
