Where can I get FREE cardboard egg cartons in driving distance of Eugene. Oregon?

Question

I am raising crickets for my leopard gecko because they are getting spendy. Where can I get free egg cartons the card board kind?

Answer 1

Cheap, free, low "carbon imprint" (no driving) old fashioned way of getting something like that:

Walk across the street or the hallway and ask your neighbours.

PS- I tried that and found it wasn't worth the effort, space and smell.  Once a week or so I buy them at the pet store and keep about20 (some will die before being fed to the Gecko) in a small aerated container originally meant for small critters or fish.

Answer 2

Ask any grocery store near you, or anywhere else that sells eggs, sometimes they have extra cartons from ones that have a few eggs broken during transport.

Also put an ad in your local craigslist or freecycle, people keep them for arts and crafts, or might just have some from a recent carton of eggs they'll give you rather than just throw out.

Answer 3

Just go to any restaurant or local diner.  My friend is a waitress and got me tons of them!

Answer 4

i know you can order online but you usually have to buy ALOT in one purchase

Answer 5

You coudl go to a grocery store and ask cause I know you can get free boxs, and im pretty sure you can get egg cartons too.

Or you can order them online and you can buy a tonn at one time.

Best of luck

I don't know about Eugene, but where I am, pet stores give out egg carton pieces for free. Just ask.
