In order to complete my holiday yard decor, I am in need of about 12-20 one (1) gallon milk cartons I plan to make some cut outs on the cartons, fill with a bit of sand and place a tea candle inside to create a holiday lite drive way. A former subdivision of mine did this throughout the subdivison and it was beautiful. Any suggestion as to where I may locate the milk cartons other than the store I would be appreciative. I don't drink milk and would hate to waste 12-20 gallons of milk. Thanks for your reply and Merry CHRISTmas!

Go to a school and ask them for their empty milk cartons from lunch time...

You cannot get them much anymore. But did you ever think of using orange juice cartons? I am sure you have friends or family that drink it, so ask them to save them for you. Otherwise go buy some and drink it yourself it is good for you !!! I hope you get them your idea sounds cool. And a Merry Christmas to you...

Contact your local Dairy. The product is best consumed locally, so even a national dairy has a branch in your region - look them up in the yellow pages or browse for them. Put in Dairy and larger cities in your area. They should sell you some once you can convince them you are serious - you need less than a case of them. Or next year, just ask some of the larger families on your block to save them for you.
Another option - ask your local recycling center!!!!

Let all your friends know you are looking for some.
If you have the money you could always buy the milk for other people and get the carton back. it would be faster than waiting for them to buy it.
if you live in kalamazoo you can have mine.

go to a restaurant or a cafe at the end of the day, they should have plenty of empties for you.
Sounds lovely what your going to do, we have milk bottles and cartons in uk, would work well with bottles too!
