So the time has come for you to reorganize your Laguna Niguel storage unit. Yea! Now you find yourself surrounded by a mess of cardboard boxes to get rid of. You could do the same boring old thing and recycle them (boring, but resourceful!), or you could try some of these fun ideas: Give the boxes away. Ask around at your apartment complex, in your neighborhood, or at the office. Someone who is planning to move or keep items in a storage unit will be grateful to take them off your hands! Build a cardboard shelving unit (seriously!) For boxes that are the same size and shape, cut off the flaps, cover with fabric, and use them for storage (saving money!) Make something fun for the kids. The web is full of awesome ideas for playhouses, forts, play kitchens, and much more! Check Pinterest for all kinds of boards dedicated to giving your cardboard boxes a second life. Fill boxes with food and take them to a local pantry, call your community’s library to see if there is a need for boxes, or take donations to a local thrift shop. Contact your neighborhood U-Haul location to see if they participate in the Box Exchange program. To help reduce waste in their communities, U-Haul helps customers sell, give away, or find boxes and moving supplies. BoxCycle makes it simple to find and buy used shipping and moving boxes or to help you sell your own unwanted cardboard boxes. If you are really itching to challenge yourself with a new DIY project, check out the Instructables website for some awesome ideas to help you build cardboard furniture. Ideas range from side tables to wall shelves to cupboards. Amazing! If you can avoid throwing away cardboard boxes, there are many benefits. Giving or donating them will help someone else; making something out of them will save them from the landfill. If you really have no other options, break down your cardboard boxes and recycle them. With so many options available, those boxes can come in handy again and again! Call or visit us today to reserve your own storage unit!
