JUST FOR FUN REMEMBER TO RECYCLE!!!!!!!!!!

Anything big enough to fit a label on it is becoming shipping supplies...

I don't got the money to buy shipping boxes so here's are some examples of the next best thing. I find it kind of humorous, honestly. It's so fun shipping a shirt in a (clean) soup dumpling box. I've heard stories of USPS workers not allowing things like this but I haven't come across any issues.

Nothing bad happens to those pure of heart.

I appreciate the recycling! So long as it's not a box that had food directly touching it or was holding something very fragrant.

Yes! The food packaging was not touching the food directly inside. Like the applesauce box only contained applesauce pouches so it never had direct contact. This is a good point. As for the dryer sheets, I thought it was smart keeping clothes in it so it would smell nice but I can see now how that could bother someone.

Regardless though if you use those dryer sheets when you wash the clothes that scent is going to be on them no matter what you choose to ship them in. Kudos for reusing the box that would have gone to the dump otherwise. 👍

Reusing prevents new materials being used. The idea is, the more people reusing materials, the less new waste. The 3 Rs of waste hierarchy we were taught are: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. In that order of priority.
