Don’t forget to flatten your share box, and leave/return it to your pickup site. The process is very simple: 1) Deplete the box. 2) Squeeze the pleats. There’s one flap on the top of the box, and two on the bottom, that are creased like a pleat. Squeeze the pleat, don’t rip it, to undo the flaps.
For the visually inclined, check out last year’s blog post on how to flatten your box. There’s a step-by-step comic that shows you how it’s done.
You can watch a cool video on the Redland Organics web site that shows you exactly how to flatten the box. [Note: the Flash video starts playing as soon as the web page loads. To re-play the video, reload the browser page.]
Bring a tote or your own personal box with you when you pick up your share, and leave the flattened share box at the pick up site. If you take the share box home with you, don’t forget to bring it back the following week. I don’t want to nag, but… those special waxed boxes can be reused a bunch of times, and cost money to replace. Thanks for doing your part!
