Cleaning my room and closet, but one of my biggest obstacles is removing my Elite packages that are stacked in my closet. I tried breaking down the packaging and storing them in a box, but then the issue of the bubbles taking up too much space came up.
I've thought about just throwing them out, but even that will require a LOT of trashbags. Anyone have any advice? It'd be much appreciated and karma will be given, if wanted. Thanks guys!

Burn them! A lovely little fire that will probably smell burnt plastic all over the neighborhood! Win-win there.

If your city does recycling, put as much out as you can at a time. I realize it's easier for some than others. We have roll out recycling, so I have as much room in there for recyclables as a trash can. If you don't have recycling, just crunch the trays really well, and get some of those industrial sized trash bags that are sturdy for job site cleanup. Those don't cost, the corners of the boxes won't poke holes in them and the only real issue would be that those things hold a lot. They can get heavy. I was helping donate my wife's recently passed away grandparents clothes in those bags and they felt like they weighed a ton!

I usually separate the bubbles and trays. Then I try to stack the all the bubbles inside each other and then the same with the trays (a little difficult because of the shapes). Sometimes it lessens the space. I toss the cardboard with the recyclables. But I'm not sure about the plastic so I throw it out with the trash.

Stack them like 5 high and step on them so they flatten out.

Some decent suggestions guys. I guess I'll just continue the idea of putting them
In trashbags. Thanks!

Depending on the box you might be able to get some money for them.

Throw them out little by little. You can take the front bubble and stack a bunch inside of each other then cut them in half or just throw them out that way. You can also put a bunch of cardboard backs together and toss them. Which saves a ton of space which i usually do. The part the figure sits in, there is no real easy way to get rid of that except crumple it up.

Recycle. Everything. Our city recycles all of it, so it works out great. Don't throw it in the trash. Just seems wasteful. I'd recycle it first ... And I'm not even a hippy.

I usually recycle mine, unless its a figure that I think I may want to display MOC sometime, then I saved the box.

Throw them in the trash. Every week a wonderful city employee comes by and whisks them away.

My gf lives in an apartment complex and I just throw them in the big dumpster there. I moved out of my apartment complex & will still throw stuff in their dumpsters. The house I'm at now, if it doesn't fit in the garbage can, they won't take it. |

The house I'm at now, if it doesn't fit in the garbage can, they won't take it. Thinking about doing this. Just sucks that it's a good 5 minute walk... that's a lot of trips. Haha |
