It seems that UPS stores will gladly take off your hands:
- packing peanuts
- air-filled plastic pillows
- cardboard boxes
I just dropped off a bag full of polystyrene peanuts (which I couldn't have disposed of properly at all - polystyrene foam is a bitch, and even specialized recycling places will not take peanuts) and air-filled bags, along with the big cardboard box that contained them. They were all taken in with a smile.
I suppose they will get reused directly to pack things again.
I heard of this tip while browsing the web,
made a quick phone call to the closest UPS store to confirm that was true,
et voila!
ps: do make that phone call beforehand though, to make sure your local store does that as well.
