"get rid of boxes you may not want others to see"
You are so right--trash day doesn't come soon enough sometimes. I was kind of embarrassed when I started breaking down all my nursery flats and shipping boxes. I had enough to cover a mile of pathways, I think!
Dave, we should have a dumpster diver badge! Mine would have 3 bars under it.
I'm a big believer in Freecycling and recycling.
The new construction dumpsters down the street from me are a great source for prizes.
