It’s a bit disappointing that these are just going to be recycled and not actually repurposed. Went through all the trouble to collect them, perfectly good and useful for various things, but nah, just destroy them.

Better than landfill, but it’s reduce, reuse, recycle, in that order, for a reason.

Kid has 2.5k of them. You might repurpose a dozen of them, you're not going to repurpose all of them.

Head a a boot sale and sell them at £1 for 5. People buying the other stuff there will have boxes for it.

£500 as well.
