Williams-Sonoma Packing Job

Today I received a belated Father’s Day gift, a great mesh pan for grilling from Williams-Sonoma.

Unfortunately, it came packaged with enough non-recyclable peanuts to completely fill a tall garbage bag. Nuclear waste isn’t so well protected. The New England Patriots don’t have this much padding.

It’s a freakin’ mesh pan! Yesterday’s newspaper could have protected it as effectively. There’s gotta be a better way.

Williams-Sonoma: can’t you find a more eco-friendly way to pack your products?

    A quick call to the peanut hotline says that UPS stores take them, including the one on Market Street.

    Hope you didn't already throw them away! :)

    Hey Rich – that's insane packing. You can also call the Plastic Loosefill Council at (800) 828-2214 for a list of drop-off centers in your area that will accept plastic peanuts.
