As the xmas period has finshed I find myself with a number of boxes from various electrical stuff. Rather than keeping them I have decided to throw them out.

What is the point in keeping them, apart from when you move you can easily pack up your stuff, do you really need them if your need to claim on the warranty?

These things tend to break one day after the warranty has expired anyways.

The only box I have kept is for my PS2.

What do you do?

Throw them away, but take them to the tip instead of leaving them out for the whole world to see what nice new stuff you have in your house.

Tend to keep most stuff - makes it a lot easier to transport stuff from home to uni and back. Only other reason I'd keep a box was maybe if I was planning on selling it at a later stage and the box didn't take up too much space in storage.
