I solved that problem long ago... ordered a case of good quality
Scotch brand packing tape, a commercial dispensor, a quality box
cutter and lots of extra blades from Amazon. I can make quick work of
slicing large cartons into managable pieces, folding them into small
packets, stomping them flat, and taping them securely. Yoose probably
don't know but I invented trash compacting... nothing goes into my
recyclables bin lest I compress it to its smallest possible volume. I
generate a lot of pet food cans but they get stomped flat.
