    I re-roll my halves so I use the boxes to transport them back to the bank.

    Re: How do you go green...?

    I go green by biking everywhere. And I reroll the coins and just give them back in the boxes. Easier for the tellers to count and move.

    Re: How do you go green...?

    I burn my boxes and the paper rolls. I dont want the garbage man knowing how much coin is in my house. I then spread the ash through my garden since the paper makes a decent amount of ash.

    Same here. I bike to the pick up bank, pick up a box or two of coins and put them in my back pack. I search and re-roll then bike the coins to the dump bank and repeat.

    99% of my boxes get tossed into the recycle bin...except for a few that I use for eBay shipments.

    Re: How do you go green...?

    Great answers so far.
    I couldnt ride a bike to hunt... I'd still try to search them while riding.. lol
    The burning for compost is a good idea..
    And the Ebay shipping.. I have been wanting to get into Ebay...so...if i do...thats an idea!

    I take them to a 24-hour unmanned recycling drop-off location. Every time I've gone, I've been the only person there. Here is the website I used to find it:

    http://Earth911.com

    I don't work for them, and I am in no way associated with them.

    All you do is type in your zip code and you can find a place that will accept corrugated card board. Not trying to preach here, but recycling them is the best way to go. The way I see it, if I can waltz out of a bank with $3,000 or more in coins in plain view of everyone in the lobby and the parking lot. Then I can at the very least take my boxes to a recycling drop-off and run the risk that someone again might see me. Just my thoughts.

    A lot of mine are full of silver and stacked in my vault. Some are full of copper pennies. Others I drive to a near by town to dispose of.
