Earth Day, Every Day - Tip # 25 - Reuse" Packing Peanuts...

and other packing material... boxes, air pillow packs, brown packing paper, etc.

My first choice is to offer it up on www.FreeCycle.org. Find your local chapter, join (it's free) and post an "Offer" for your packing peanuts.* Fairly quickly you should receive an email from someone who would love to reuse your packing materials.

If you don't have a local FreeCycle group, try your local shipping store. They may not take all your packing material, but they'll usually take the peanuts.

*For safety, I only share my address with the person picking up my donation, and I always leave my FreeCycle items in the driveway.
