Or a place that reuses them. How do you make money on that? Send people a shipping label to return a stack of gently used moving boxes and then ship them to movers in need?
No? No way to make money off of that? Then fuck it. Burn the boxes.
This is one of the first things I was taught when I was a food server in my 20s (sooo long ago). As soon as deliveries arrived, boxes were opened, contents were stocked in the appropriate places and the boxes broken down and put in the recycling dumpster. I worked there for 8 yrs. Never saw a roach.
My city decided that curbside recycling was unnecessary & now we have to load all our recyclables into our cars & drive to the nearest recycling center where we then have to toss it into the bins. Even then, not all of the recyclables are being recycled. Much of it still ends up in the landfill. 😡
My springer spaniel excels at this. He can take down any sized box, in fact the bigger the challenge the more he gets into it. Perk of moving a house when you have a four month old puppy. They just want to shred!
Almost contemplated raiding my neighbor's recycle bin one night because I was temporarily running out of Amazon boxes to mix with the output of my aerobic kitchen scrap digester in the outdoor compost tumbler. Also, turning physical spam into worm bedding just feels like cosmic justice.

This response is too practical …
Or just a wood chipper. You can put boxes in them right? Then you can create a nest for *checks list of things that like cardboard* Ah... roaches
Our rubbish bin is so much emptier now.
