Don't forget to recycle your materials please
« on: May 26, 2015, 11:12:58 PM »
Surprised (too lazy to search) this hasn't been broached but after receiving a tubie from EMP (superbly packaged!) i can't help but feel that it is a lot of paper to waste, for others to keep (like the nice 3-sheet I just got for example).  I re-use the supplies when I can but wonder if my buyer also will. Then comes the actual shipping line that gets it to my house...  are there ways of making poster collecting more carbon-neutral?

I have piles and piles of empty and stacks of packing material including thick cardboard, bubble wrap and kraft paper - all saved some packages received over the years.  Anything that cannot be kept is recycled when possible.

I tell myself I am keeping it all for when I actually start selling stuff.  Then I think "good luck future self in convincing me!"...

I keep a bunch of tubes and card envelopes for if, as and when I have to sell my bits...

That which is not kept is recycled.

I am so virtuous.

Things come in but nothing ever leaves my house, so as much as I subscribe to your plea, my blue trash is always overloaded with tubes and boxes.  I actually had to get a second one from the city.  At least it goes to recycle, but it is a lot of money wasted in tubes and boxes.
