What you could do is to find out if there are some local stores who would want to come and pick it up and reuse it at their stores, for packing & shipping their items to customers. I'm sure that your local thrift shops would be able to use this stuff to wrap breakables that their customers buy. Approach your employer and suggest this to him. It's the responsible thing to do to reduce the amount of stuff in our landfills. Businesses are paying big bucks to buy this stuff. It's just wasteful to throw it away when there are plenty of businesses who would be able to reuse this stuff. Also, how about a local moving company? Or a non-profit organization? How about your boss putting an ad in the local paper, giving it away? How about the internet site called Free Cycle, where you post things that you want to give away? Your boss could possibly be named man of the year for creating a way to reduce waste! It's good thinking to try to find a way to reuse instead of throw away. Quite a worthy project. <*)))><
