Disposing of Amazon Boxes

There has been a massive shift in the American Economy and how we now do business. This grand shift has also affected how the average American shops. The Pandemic has created a wave of changes across our country.  They began by the Federal Government giving guidelines for individuals to follow.  The individual States then took those guidelines and changed them into their own version and enacted laws. These laws albeit are mostly unconstitutional on the Federal and State level to enforce but are actually being enforced and it has created a new country. Now with fear rising due to the uncertainty of being arrested and the hardship of going out to the local stores which most are now closed people are staying home. 

We are now shopping from home more than ever and most people now have an abundant supply of used Shipping boxes in their homes. This is because people are afraid of a virus and fear of being arrested and so they order items they need online.  The amount of shipping has caused Amazon to hire 100,000 workers and the number continues to rise.  The amount of shipping boxes being sent across the country is at its highest rate ever.  This has led to a major problem of how to get rid of these extra boxes.

When I look in my garage it is full of amazon packages and packages from all different companies.  THe issue is they are still in my garage taking up space.  That is the reason why they are still there, they simply take up space. I am only allowed to use so many trash bags per week to get rid of my trash.  So I keep compiling an excess of cardboard and it’s becoming difficult to get rid of it.

My solution is to get yourself a very nice knife.  You can also get a high end pair of scissors as well.  You then need to set aside some time to cut all the corners which are kept to gether with tape and then fold the boxes into the most compact form possible. To fit in trash cans I suggest having each section be no wider than 12 inches and no longer then 24 inches.  This allows you  to stack to section per most trash bags and create many sections of width.  Make sure you tools that you chose have very comfortable handles which are more rounded instead of square so your hands do not blister due to the repeated movements in which they will be forced to do.  The pressure on your hands creates friction which can lead to injuries quickly. So choose wise high end tools and be efficient when throwing out your cardboard.
