Free Cardboard Boxes in Ecuador (Cartones de cajas, cartón)

2 years ago

Where can I get free cardboard boxes in Ecaudor?

I need a bunch of cardboard boxes for moving.

Where I'm from, I'd usually just go to a fast food restaurant. Around back they have enormous dumpsters full of just cardboard. They pay to have it picked-up, so you're doing them a favor by taking some cardboard out of their recycling bin (it's free). In a few minutes you can get a truck load of cardboard. And since it's separated into a cardboard-only bin, it's all very clean.

I don't see similar cardboard dumpsters outside fast food restaurants here in Ecuador. I also went to a mall with a huge SuperMaxi. I'm sure they have an enormous amount of cardboard waste, but I couldn't find it. I've been to the fruit/veg mercados. No dumpsters or stacks of cardboard anywhere!

In general, what is the type of store in Ecuador where I can go in, find their cardboard waste, and take it home for free?
