It’s important to try to reuse & recycle , in everything I do . Here are some things that work for me , and I really hope you’ll try them too !
Many companies throw away the styrofoam peanuts they receive with orders , and would give them to you happily. Try a camera shop , or lamp shop , ie think ” Fragile ” .
Posting a sign at any local community bulletin board , or library if allowed, usually gets a positive response . I ask for clean tissue paper , peanuts , bubble wrap , and small boxes and have received quite abit after the holidays especially .

Many companies will have manilla and bubble envelopes available for reuse . These could have labels which need to be removed , or simply covered .

Remember that your customers do not want anything dirty , so please be conciencious and careful to not send anything sticky or with food on it. Bubble wrap can be washed and dried very easily . One of my BEST scores , was from a car bumper repair shop . The bubble wrap was yards and yards long , and totally FREE !! Plus , there’s the extra bonus of knowing that you are helping clean up the World !! I would love to hear from other recyclers with more ideas and thanks for reading this .
