    I can attest to what 56 says on sources on cardboard. When I was doing retail it amazed me how much we threw out every day. I unloaded the trucks an did inventory, an we would go thru a lot of cardboard. When I was with the book store, we got in 12 - 15 pallets every day, with anywhere from 65 to 85 cartons on it. We just tossed it all in the dumpster.

    Knowing what I know now...let me tell ya, it makes me cry sometimes. lol. Retail stores, grocery stores, movers like 56 said, an many other places. Hell the wife's hotel gets a lot, not as much daily as the retail/grocery stores, but then they also don't get truck loads every day. Heh.

    Lots of good sources for it. Just a matter of storing an transport to a buyer for me, at lest. I've often thought about approaching the bars out here about the bottles they throw away nightly. Their tossing several very large trash cans of bottles every night. No clue what they pay on beer glass, but it tempts me. heh.
