Tip: Recycle Holiday Packing Material

Whether from gifts you ordered online or ones sent from friends or family far away, I’m willing to bet you’ve got at least one box full of styrofoam peanuts or bubble wrap heading for the garbage bin. But wait! There are planet-friendly alternatives to dealing with post-holiday trash.

The easiest way? Save used packing material for the next time you need to ship an item. It’ll save you money at the post office, and keep waste out of the landfill. Don’t have the space to hold onto the extra junk? Try recycling it! While packing peanuts might not be accepted in your municipality-issued recycle bin, that doesn’t mean you can’t give them a second life. Visit loosefillpackaging.com to find a drop-off center near you that’ll take your packing material off your hands–while keeping the planet cleaner.
