Is there a recycling company that will pick up moving boxes and the heavy duty paper. The moving company came back and picked up most of it, but I still have a significant amount left.

Any info is appreciated.

Moving boxes move on Craigslist.

That's what I thought, but do people want the packing paper also?

They'll take packing paper too! You can just post it under the "free" category and leave them on your porch for pick up. I'll be doing the same thing this week!

Freecycle is another spot to try, but I would imagine you would have quick success with Craigslist. One of my employees got a bunch of boxes off CL, and then when she was done with them, put them back up and they were gone in a day.

Agreed re: Craigslist. I posted mine as free and put them on the curb -- gone very quickly, and then I just delete the posting.

Craiglist is the way to go! Fast, Free and For Anyone! Its works and be end of day all will be gone along with paper and sometimes they even leave the curbs behind!!!! Great to reuse than to destroy!

We left ours at the curb for a scheduled Bulk Load trash pick up and most were gone before the city workers arrived. It was cute, some folks were from a cul-de-sac away, would stop by and the doors would open on the back of the van and the kids would pour out, pick through them, take what interested them and once came back to either return a few or drop off their own. It was like a packing material swap.
