i have about 10 bags of these in my house and i need to get rid of them but i dont want to throw them away because that would seem wasteful. what do you do with them? does anyone recycle or reuse them? do places like mailboxes etc take them?

If you have a business in your community like Mail Boxes Etc or A UPS station, they would love to have the peanuts.

There's a slight chance that theyre biodegradable. Take a few and run them under water for a couple seconds. Usually if theyre like this theyre marked, but its worth a try. If not, just save them for when you have to send a package to someone.

if theyre green, they should be biodegradeable. BTW, if you have like 10+ cubic feet per bag, people on ebay will pay some decent $. try even selling the stuff to a local pack and ship. most mailboxes etc... are franchises

Are you living in an apartment?? Go up to the top floor and throw everything down. :) Simulate some snow effect. :D

I have 3 hefty garbage bags full of foam peanuts.

Anyone have a good recipe?
