Shredded Paper Instead Of Packing Peanuts |
|
|
To prevent the use of styrofoam peanuts (don't you hate those things flying around when you open a box), I use the paper in my shredder. I place it in a Walmart/plastic bag and use as packing material. You can squish it around about anything to protect from movement. The receiver is grateful as no peanuts or loose shredded paper to deal with, all is contained in bag. Excellent for fragile shipping. I always write "PLEASE RECYCLE" on the outside of the bags so they will do the same or maybe save for later use.

I assume the bottles and cans are clean {wink}
I love my paper shredder, it does double duty as an ID theft deterant and as packing supply.

I use some very unusual packing material - empty pop cans or plastic bottles. They weigh practically nothing, are recyclable and fit in the sides of the box if you are mailing something fragile. I sell on ebay and have had people who were very surprised to receive my packages and find pop cans for cushion. Try it! I guarantee you it works! I also crush up plastic grocery bags.
