How To Start A Box
- Get a box. The USPS flat rate priority mail boxes are ideal.
- Fill it (most of the way: leave a little room for future contributions) with electronics junk and treasures.
- Get a small notebook and put the recipient conditions (you can get them from the Main Page) in the front.
- Give the box a code for tracking purposes: most of the boxes are named after cities. Write the box code in the book. Optionally add information about where the box was started and who donated the goodies.
- Write the names of a couple of proposed recipients in the book.
- Offer your box to someone (see How to offer a box).
- Once you've got a willing recipient, send off your box.
- Update the Box Tracking page to add the code name you've assigned to the new box.
