    What can I do with a small arsonal of cardboards and styrofoam blocks, I got alot of new furniture this weekend (headboard, footboard, rails, entertainment center, computer desk) and each one came in large cardboard boxes and backed with blocks of styrofoam, Its gonna fill up like 8 garbage bags it i break it down and throw it away, An I just cant bring myself to throw away that much garbage. Any idea on what I can do with it?

    With styrofoam blocks and the right supplies, I could make a Marionett Bird!

    I like Cardboard for templates I may need to trace onto more
    permanent material. I also made a tray for my flatware.

    ask the local high school if their set and prop people can use it. Styro is often carved for sets.

    and corregated can be recycled if you get no great ideas: Mc Donalds usually has a bin for it. Make 'em be worth thier space for a second....

    I used cardboard that I traced circles on and then cut them out to make the "tiers" of my diaper cake. But if you have hampsters or gerbils or mice or whateva you can take your cardboard ONLY and give it to them they love to eat it and the vet said it wouldnt hurt them plus my mom worked with mice and the like for 20+yrs. and she says it helps them so there teeth dont grow. I heard that if you can use the styrofoam to use as insulation for your house or your barn or your garage or the cracks of your windows if you have any. Might be a good idea with the cost of gas and heating this winter.
