Coming from a UK Town with an extraordinarily busy recycling Centre, it seems odd that in this day Climate Change and recycling that I cannot get rid of a large pile of flattened unpacked boxes, other than perhaps burn them, which I refuse to do. Is there a recycling centre anywhere that does not mind which town you live in?

Thanks but Sadly, I could fill a blue bin umpteen times over as I have around 30 flattened boxes and more yet to come as we are still unpacking.

Unlike Britain, the bins here get emptied very frequently, so going every few days, and using different bins around your area, it shouldn't take long to get rid of them.

Have you tried advertising them, to anyone who is moving away?

I find it hard to believe  you haven't any recycling bins in your village, there are three stations of bins  that I know of here in Cantoria, maybe even more. If you go into Albox shopping there are any number there as well.

Thanks, but there are now approaching 50 flattened boxes, none of them small, so this is going to be a long disposal problem.

Hi there is a site on Facebook called Almeria recylcing, you put what ever you have and don't want on there and if anyone wants them they collect, no money is exchanged.

Hi Puff that's what we did. We had 235 boxes when we moved here 3 years ago. The removal company had the ones back that belonged to them and the others to people who were moving and the rest got flattened and put in bins over a period of time, easy.
