Hillary Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Okay, what do you all do with all these packing peanuts? I think they actually multiply!!! I mean I re-use what I can, but still....How do you get rid of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I save them, to re-use when mailing things out. You might want to do that too, unless you don't mail out a lot of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gdawg Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I re use also...We have 4 rather large boxes in the basement filled to the top with them. I have recycled a bag or two also cause I agree they do multiply very fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Re-user here, too. I usually just keep one big bag of them on hand and throw out the rest. I'm running out of room here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashlie K Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Hey if you dont use them, Ill pay for the shipping for them to get to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mona Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 http://www.freecycle.org/ is one way to get rid of them. Another option would be to take them to one of those packing/shipping stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashlie K Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Oh I forgot to mention that the Post Office, yes the Post office accepts them. How do I know? My local postman told me and low and behold I went there and asked if they had any and I was given 2 HUGE bags full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillary Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 Oh, thank God. I was dreading the next few deliveries just because I'd have more peanuts to stash. There's a Post office just down the street. I'll give that a try. Thank you guys so much. I knew you'd all know what to do with these things.

cindym Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 If you have wholesale accounts that ship give them to them. That is what I do when I get way to many. They love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I take them to the local joke shop. They are forever mailing stuff out and they are big ebayers so they gladly take all I don't need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I hate peanuts with a passion.They are a messy waste of space. I throw them out, immediately! Bubble wrap or those air cushions work for me. Those peanuts are terrible!! LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hope Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 www.earth911.org may help get rid of them, they have a great reuse/recycle directory. Type in zip code, 'Reuse & Recycling Services', scroll down to the plastic box, then, 'Plastic Peanut Reuse'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsbennis Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Great link Hope...I wonder how I missed that one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Gosh, I go through peanuts like greased lightning. Any of you with tons of them to spare happen to live in west central Missouri? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to hide them from my kids. They get everywhere! My Hubby said the kids could paint them and string them up on the Christmas tree. I don't think so. Out they go.......

Hope Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Great link Hope...I wonder how I missed that one...Surprised here, thought you'd beat me to posting that one!Hillary... hope it works out for you. For people who need peanuts, I wonder what Hobby Lobby and Micheal's does with their peanuts? If I need any, I usually get dept. store friend to hook me up.

GrayMaire Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 The UPS stores will take them too... Whatever I don't reuse, I've been giving to them. Didn't know the post office would take them too - good to know! Thanks! Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Ahh see I'm on the other end of the spectrum like some others... I go through them like water and love having excess. Great links guys, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I go through tons too and it stinks to have to BUY them. I'm trying to figure out how to get one of those dispensers put up in my garage/workshop, lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
