class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amazon has an entire section dedicated to recycling its boxes, wraps as well as other packaging materials they use to ship their products; It\u2019s called Amazon Second Chance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not only does Amazon Second Chance give you information on how to get all those cardboard boxes recycled but you can even trade in old electronics you may have lying around as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, we haven\u2019t even told you the best part: <strong>You become eligible for Amazon gift cards in exchange for the old electronics you trade-in.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, not only are you reducing your waste and helping the environment but you\u2019re also receiving Amazon gift cards that will allow you to continue to shop online. Now that\u2019s what we call a win-win.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Some Amazon shipping materials are completely recyclable while others are not.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, Amazon paper-padded mailers can be completely recycled curbside through curbside recycling programs whereas the process to recycle something such as a bubble-wrapped plastic bag may take more resources.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That being said, there are several plastic film recycling locations across the US and you can find out the ones near you through Amazon\u2019s Second Chance page.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>While Amazon\u2019s Second Chance page has significant information regarding how to recycle its packaging, its main focus is on recycling old electronics and gadgets you may have lying around in your home.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can trade these old electronics is not only for the Amazon gift cards that we stated above but also for great discounts for the newer versions of those electronics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Amazons_Cardboard_Boxes_to_Ship_Donations_for_Free\"><\/span>Using Amazon\u2019s Cardboard Boxes to Ship Donations for Free<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-683x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"tape toys ideas sitting reused kids bunch trash what to do with amazon boxes stuff\" class=\"wp-image-3266\" width=\"512\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-683x1024.jpeg 683w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-273x410.jpeg 273w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-1024x1536.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-100x150.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image.jpeg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to cut back on all the clutter in your home while simultaneously helping others, you should look into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.givebackbox.com\/\">Give Back Box program<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amazon is officially partnered with the Give Back Box program and it allows Amazon customers to reuse their Amazon boxes to ship off donations for free.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, these donations can be tax-deductible as well when you sign up for the program.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#179ab6\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:8px\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">All you have to do is empty the Amazon boxes you got your ordered products in and fill them with whatever items you wish to donate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">You can donate anything you don\u2019t use anymore such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-white-color has-text-color wp-block-list\"><li>Old clothes&nbsp;<\/li><li>Old shoes<\/li><li>&nbsp;Toys&nbsp;<\/li><li>Appliances<\/li><li>Household goods<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">And anything else you may have lying around the house that is no longer of use to you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Once the box is filled up, tape it shut and paste the prepaid shipping label for the Give Back Box program onto it.

That would ruin the surprise!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hence, what you can do is put your gift into one of those empty boxes you have lying around and then wrap that box up to surprise your loved ones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Amazon_Boxes_for_Arts_and_Crafts\"><\/span>Using Amazon Boxes for Arts and Crafts&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The typical Amazon box used for shipping is made from cardboard; The perfect material for use in art projects for children.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have children at home that like painting or are looking to construct something out of cardboard, your old Amazon boxes can really come in handy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Cardboard_Boxes_as_Compost\"><\/span>Using Cardboard Boxes as Compost&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-37.png\" alt=\"viva terra new life drop site tape trash bunch life what to do with amazon boxes search links company charity schedule account pickup\" class=\"wp-image-3268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-37.png 960w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-37-615x410.png 615w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-37-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-37-225x150.png 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re a gardener and have a garden in your backyard where you grow plants, fruits, or other types of vegetation, you can use Amazon\u2019s cardboard boxes as compost.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Clean corrugated cardboard, which the typical Amazon box is usually made of great materials for compost.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For starters, it has high levels of carbon which is one of the necessary components that combine with nitrogen to break down the compost into nutrient-rich humus for the soil.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All you have to do is cut the boxes into strips, tear those strips into as small pieces as you can and then put them into your compost as carbon additions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrapping_Things_Up%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>Wrapping Things Up\u2026&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We hope you\u2019ve gained some insight into the ways you can reduce spam and clutter within your home and make effective use of all the Amazon boxes you may have accumulated over the years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Climate change is real and if we don\u2019t do something about it soon, it\u2019s going to cause irreversible changes to our planet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So be a hero and save the planet.
