I was wondering what you do with them? Do most people throw them out? Cut
them up? Or keep each one in imaculate condition?

The only boxes I keep are for the sets I plan on keeping completely separate
from my parts bins, which is a very small percentage of my collection and a
miniscule percentage of the sets I buy.

I throw out the rest.  I used to use them to ship small parts orders, but
they're just too flimsy.

I do make use of the instructions and catalogs, though.  I shred those and
use them as packing material.

Shred them??? I would gladly pay the shipping for instructions for sets that I don't already own (which is still quite a few despite recent Lego binges). Send me an e-mail of which instructions you have many of and maybe we can make a deal. Fred (24 years ago, 1-Jan-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.storage)
