I’ve got 4 of these boxes, and I’m not quite sure what to do with them. From what I can tell, they can’t be recycled here, but it seems sort of wrong to just throw away a wooden box.
If I had a fireplace, I’d just use the boxes as kindling, but alas, my house lacks a chimney (and a fireplace).
I’m already using one to store the girls’ bath fizzers (scroll down that post to see the photo) and I don’t really have a need for more clementine storage boxes and none of the clementine box crafts I’ve found online appeal to me much.
So, should I offer them on Freecycle? Or do you have a really fabulous re-use idea for me?

Send them to my daughter!!!! She is using them on the tables at her outdoor fruit and berry inspired WEDDING, and we need more and I am scouring the internet and cannot find any at all. Please reply if you have any or know where I can get some. I will gladly pay postage. Wedding is in late July. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

I have the ones made of heavy cardboard, and I use them in two tall cupboards (i.e., no shelves) to organize canned goods. Maybe the wood ones would stack in a cupboard so you could use up any unused vertical space? For me, it's simply easier to pull a box toward you and take the can you want vs. fumbling back through the stockpile.

It cracked me up to hear that so many people can't bear to throw away clementine crates! I'll admit to having a few of my own:) So this post inspired me to step up to the plate. This weekend, we stapled several in between the joists in our cellar stairwell to make little shelves for the small items we store in that area. Very successful, and they go great with the wine corks I've been slowly gluing to the stairwell walls - but that's another project! I do also use some to store small items on our large cellar storage shelves, and the surplus will go into the firepit this summer.
