Why ReUse Chocolate Boxes:
Each year, thousands of cardboard and paper heart-shaped Valentine’s Day chocolate boxes are thrown out after the candy has been eaten, filling landfills and producing more waste. Instead of throwing away your Valentine’s Day candy boxes, recycle them into something useful. You will be saving more than just trees. You will help to reduce the thousands of pounds of Valentine’s Day waste that goes into landfills each year.
