Reusing Old Boxes
If you recently purchased a TV, computer, or any other large electronic, don’t toss the box out. In fact, doing so can attract burglars since they’ll know you recently purchased an expensive item. Instead, keep the box in your closet or garage if you can. You’ll need it when moving to a new home or apartment.
If at all possible, make sure you keep the Styrofoam padding. If you tossed those out, you can line the box with clothes, towels, linens, and whatever soft material you have lying around. That way, your electronics won’t get all scratched up during the move.
