Try going to retail stores at stocking hours. Call ahead, find out when they stock, and then go visit and see about boxes. Talk to the store lead or a superviser in advance so they know you're coming and don't destroy the boxes in the compactor. I used to work in retail and you hardly ever get lucky if people aren't stocking. Try you're local Walmart, Target, Kroger, Savemart, Vons, Food Max, Food Lion, Ross, etc. Another idea is investing in plastic storage boxes, they last a long time and can be reused and store wonderfully in a garage.
