This may sound weird, but the wife went out and purchased a new lounge (didn't even ask me) and it came in 3 large packing cartons.
Rather than dispose of them and add to the waste stream, I was wondering if anyone on this forum would be interested in 2 free to pick up cartons of 70cm x 85 cm OD in Brisbane.
Useful for packing and sending astro stuff interstate or making indoor cubby houses for the kids.
Argonavis, you could try calling a local playgroup to see if they could use the boxes. I took my boy to playgroup the last 2 years and cubby house boxes were an occasional feature.
