Concept2 boxes - where are they now?

Post by johnlvs2run » July 15th, 2020, 7:50 pm

After getting your Concept2 ergometer, what have you done with the box that it came in?
Mine are still here, but I'm considering to get rid of them.

Pitched the box my Model C came in a long, long time ago. Did we even recycle cardboard way back then?

I was living in an apartment at the time, and they didn't offer recycling, so I'm pretty sure it ended up in the dumpster with the trash.

Probably mouldering in some forgotten landfill.

I ripped up the Bikeerg box and tossed it in the trash yesterday, which filled up the bins.
The Skierg boxes will be next.

Well, we recycle, so wherever local waste management takes cardboard, lol. Received my Erg D rower July 22 (a Wednesday), assembled it that night, and on the weekend cut up the box and shoved it all into our recycling bin. I mean, I am one of those people who will keep the original packaging for a lot of things, but didn't see the point here. Just like with the box my grill came packaged in that I got for Christmas. Removing the contents leaves the box and packaging styrofoam in less than ideal condition, and there's no way the product is ever going back in there like it came from the factory, so what's the point in keeping it.
