Do u recycle bubble mailers?

I have no issue with receiving recycled anything, as long as it protects the item I am receiving. It bothers me a little when it is so tape heavy that I risk damage even trying to open the damn thing, but it is a minor complaint at most.

If I were sending out a lot of stuff, I would reuse anything that was worth reusing. I do save just about all supplies, even though I am not sure why. I have boxes and boxes of used crap and even some new stuff that I don't use at all (semi-rigid holder for example). I guess I figure I WILL USE, SELL, TRADE OR GIVE IT ALL AWAY some day. meanwhile, I am storing it as clutter at my residence!

On a somewhat related note, I had been stocking away junk cards in a box in my garage with the intention of bringing them to my favorite shop. He gives away card boxes to people/kids with purchase and often even w/o purchase. There were several thousand cards there, maybe between 5-10K. It was picked through junk, maybe 90s to early 00s, with an occasional newer or older card and a few minor stars/fan favorites. I decided to recycle them as I had not been down to the shop in a while and don't see me having time during the day for a while. It's about a 80 mile round trip, so I used to go during the work day when I had time and every once in a great while my boys and I would road trip a weekend visit.

anyway, I decide to toss them on craigslist for free, not expecting a whole lot. I placed an add for free curbside pick-up, took a few shots of the box, gave dimensions, told where the box would be and said I would field no questions. First come, first served. I didn't watch it closely, but my wife had come back from an errand after I posted and gave me grief about leaving a box on the curb with "FREE" on it (we live in a neighborhood on a cul-d-sac so there is very little drive by traffic). By the time I looked again, they were gone! It could not have been more than 1 hour.

If you guys are looking to dump off cards, even junk, give that a try first before burning, burying or recycling them! I have heard a lot of stories online about people complaining that nobody wants junk cards. maybe it is area dependent, but for me, it was quick and easy.
