hey everyone!
just started cleaning up in my room... and i have a huge drawer full of empty boxes and packaging. one is for mac, and the other of all other brands. I really dont like throwing them away, because they are always so beautiful.... just nice for collecting... but it only becomes more and more... cant keep them all anymore.

what do you do with yours? do you throw them away? do something with them? stack them somehow?

i really need an idea ^^ because i dont want to throw them away... but i dont need them and its just taking away space

For the first week after i've bought something I keep it in the box lol but i end up throwing them because i cant stand clutter

I always throw them away. I don't need any extra stuff lying around. Here is what someone did with theirs: my little way to put mac boxes to use

that's too cute

yup that is quite cute... but its not something i would like. =/

be kind to the environment and toss em in the recycling bin.

If they are MAC, I trade them in for a lipstick.

I've always wondered if you could give other brands' for B2M, so that it could be recycled, but obviously you wouldn't be able to get a MAC product for it, but it would be nice for it to be recycled rather than it being thrown in the trash.

she meant the cardboard boxes and other packaging, not the actual containers.

no you can't. since they don't know what materials are used for packaging by other companies, they can't use them in the recycling process. you might be able to recycle them in your bins that go out with your trash.

last summer i used to hoard them, but then i ended up throwing them all away because i got really annoyed with them taking up space in my room.

I recycle mine. I usually don't keep them... I just don't have room, plus they don't have any use!
