Give Back Box – A way to reuse those empty shipping boxes and give to charity. It's simple, just pack it with some unwanted stuff and ship it! #GiveBackBox Click To Tweet“Got empty boxes laying around? Retailers such as Amazon are teaming up with local charities to use empty shipping boxes and get rid of the clutter filling homes. After removing your order from your shipping box, fill it with clothes, etc. you want to donate, and visit GiveBackBox.com to print a free shipping label. The box can be dropped off with USPS or picked up. You can also print a receipt for tax use.”
