Where can one find large amounts of nice cardboard?

Question

Friends and I are making a film on a $30 budget - so lots of cardboard and duct tape will be used! Aside from boxes and things - how would one go about obtaining large amounts of congruated cardboard?

Answer 1

If you live in a city or a good size town, go cruise the back alleys of the industrial area. Look for loading docks and dumpsters. Many places will have dumpsters marked "Cardboard Only", because there is an actual recycling market for it. (It goes to China, believe it or not, where they turn it into that really cheesy soft stuff and ship it back here wrapped around all our unnecessary plastic objects. End of editorial.) Some of these dumpsters may be locked but most will not. Go back with a truck in the dead of night and collect what you need. It should be easy to find large, fairly clean sheets. You have no idea how much great cardboard is tossed every day in the manufacturing sector.

Answer 2

Sainsburys =] They always give free cardboard boxs that you can cut up :D There free aswell...

Answer 3

you can probabily get some at your local grocery store, when ever i need card board i go their and they have a hole room of it since all of the food comes in card board boxes. all you do is go to the grocery store, and ask one of the workers, they would probabiliy be more than happy to get you some (since it is recycling)

p.s sorry if some of the spelling is wrong i am not very good at it. ;)
