I've got to get a better handle on my sorting. I've got 7 Akro Mills containers (about 300 separate compartments), about 30 plastic "shoe boxes", about 30 cardboard shoe boxes, 6 large Technic trays, and about 400 to 500 baggies. Everything is (...) (26 years ago, 6-Oct-98, to lugnet.storage)

(...) It depends on the box for me. I try to save the bigger ones, thinking that "someday" I'll use them for storage. Some boxes are just so "cute", like Pizza To Go, that I can't collapse them or toss them. Black Thunder box is cool too, as it's (...) (26 years ago, 5-Oct-98, to lugnet.storage)

For a long time I threw away all of the boxs. A few years ago I started saving them and quickly ran out of room. Within the last year I've reached a compromise with the problem. I currently flatten the boxes and save them that way. I have a problem (...) (26 years ago, 4-Oct-98, to lugnet.storage)
