Reuse Clean Materials for Future Shipments 

Before throwing away sturdy cardboard boxes, air pillows, or bubble cushioning, set them aside for your next shipment. Saving gently used supplies reduces waste and lowers your costs when preparing gifts or care packages. If you need assistance with custom packaging for uniquely shaped items, bringing clean, pre-owned materials can be a great starting point for secure prep.

Utilize Santa Fe’s Local Recycling Services 

Flatten your corrugated cardboard boxes before placing them into your city curbside recycling bin or taking them to Santa Fe drop-off centers. Be sure to remove plastic tape and shipping labels where possible. Remember that plastic film, foam peanuts, and padded mailers generally cannot go into single-stream recycling, so separate them to keep the recycling stream clean.
