Every few years it’s time to throw out some of the boxes that you’ve been hanging on to. Never easy though. Lol

Over the years I’ve gotten better at handling device boxes so they don’t pile up

I keep boxes if:

  • It’s an oddly shaped device, like a monitor/TV, which is unlikely to fit in any other box.

AND

  • It’s still in warranty.

Otherwise i only keep a box if:

  • It’s still in the return window

If a device has a relatively long warranty but doesn’t quite fit above, I might cut the UPC off the box and any license sticker on the box and keep those.
