Storage space in homes is increasingly being occupied by empty tech product boxes, even for items that are no longer owned. A garage shelving unit, designed to hold useful tools, has become a repository for numerous discarded boxes, highlighting the tendency of consumers to retain packaging rather than dispose of it.
This shelving unit, which spans an entire wall, is nearly filled with tech boxes, some of which belong to devices long sold or given away. The storage compartments are suitable for two to three boxes each, leading to a significant accumulation of empty packaging.
Despite the impracticality of keeping these boxes, many individuals find themselves unable to part with them. While some may see this as a nostalgic attachment, it raises questions about the necessity of retaining such items. Ultimately, the owner faces the dilemma of either continuing to store these empty boxes or finally letting them go.
