Packing Peanuts


Here is a little tidbit I heard about yesterday---though many of us wish to use a different packing material, sometimes those darn packing peanuts do work wonders. Buying them is expensive, and of course there is the environmental factor. A great way to recycle packing peanuts is to buy a big plastic trash bin---and call around local shops (gift shops and dollar stores are a few get tons of peanuts a week). Ask them if they would like to recycle their peanuts---and simply drop off a bin to them. Let them know to simply give you a quick call every time the bin is about full. Make sure to follow up and get your free peanuts---buying industrial garbage bags can make the process a little easier. Happy Saturday Everyone!
