Anyone else have a weird obsession with hoarding those Styrofoam boxes?

Guilty as charged. I've offered BRS the 65 boxes from them this year alone for recycle. And Lord knows how many mfgrs boxes I've saved for return and/or resale. I bet I still have boxes for gear that's "long gone" lol

They’re so useful for frag swaps, but after the “big” box is full I feel like I’ve run out money.

Looks like my house and then I ask my wife what did you order?!?

My brother asked me for some boxes for the same reason last year. When i dropped them off at his house he sarcastically said "i don't know if this will be enough." i said "i'll be back in a few minutes with the 2nd load." :D

I've made a couple of relatives nervous when they've received Christmas gifts from me. They start to unwrap it and the box I wrapped the gift in says "LIVE FISH" on it.

I might post my own thread, but figured I would answer/ask here. (Though it seems obvious the answer from some of you).

What do you do with your empty boxes? I saved 2 for my car (one is larger than the other) but have several more. I absolutely hate the idea of landfilling the Styrofoam ones. The lady of the house doesn't like the stack of boxes (even in the shed) but abhors landfilling them more than I do. I have nowhere near the quantity many of you do, but I could see going in that direction. I'd love to be able to slap the lowest shipping on them and ship them off for "store credit" of some kind and was wondering if anyone knew of such a program anywhere? My LFS has tons on shelves and under tanks so I doubt they'd offer me anything other than "not landfilling" and Lord only knows if they do it anyway. Most of the local reefers have a box and don't ship anything out so they are in a similar boat as I am.

thanks to any and all who reply.

Yes I don't think I have ever thrown one out, wife has given up asking " what are you going to do with all these ". Same thing if I buy Equipment for the Tank that Box gets saved as well. I'm so ashamed!
