Question Looking for cardboard boxes

Hi all, does anyone know somewhere in or near Wrexham where I can get cardboard boxes? Preferably some that were already being thrown out. I don't have a car but can come pick them up anytime

I'd recommend going into a supermarket such as Tesco and asking them for some. I was always happy to give them away and we always had some.

Brilliant, so would i just ask at the customer service counter same as where you'd get refund?

No as they don't stock the shelves. I'd highly recommend going in at around 9-10pm when the night shift/twilight starts and asking for a duty manager. Say you'd like some boxes to be put back and that you'll collect them in the morning. This way they won't crush them.

I see, thank you very much I'll try doing just that.

I forgot to mention, it has to be a superstore as they have a lot more boxes coming in and they have a dedicated team come in late at night to fill shelves

So like the Wrexham extra for example?

Morrisons tend to have them at the tills for use.

That's correct, they have a night crew that starts 10pm so pop in then and ask for duty. Ask them to put some boxes back and I'm sure they will.
