What do I do with a steady supply of styrofoam coolers?
-
I'm on a medication that gets delivered to me in a dramatically over packaged way every two weeks. Part of this packaging is a styrofoam cooler about 27x22x25cm and two unlabeled cold packs.
I currently have 7 of these and expect to be getting them for the rest of my life. Aside from just tossing them, do any of you lot have suggestions for what i can do with all these coolers?

Donate to a local food bank, homeless shelter, meals on wheels. Styrofoam containers can be used to store or transport hot or cold foods to those in need.

Put meals in them and give them to the unhoused?

frustrating. I was also getting a steady supply of ice packs. One time one of the ice packs said it could be used as plant fertilizer and I was happy to do so but never saw another one like that.
I take my trash to a transfer station. The amount of single-use stuff we throw away is frightening.
I never came up with an answer. I asked my neighbors on an app and they had similar issues with chilled medical delivery.

You could keep them to pack your own food into encase of a power outage. I assume this nest together so they wouldn't take up much room.
Likely not something you will do but I found this interesting: There is an electronics business in the UK who bought a machine to break up styrofoam into small bit. They also have a steady supply of the stuff. They paid for the machine by selling the styrofoam as blown-in insulation.

A quick check at amazon shows these costing about $14 each, no doubt much less in bulk but still expensive. Perhaps inquire with the shipper if they would accept them for reuse if cleaned. If the shipper is friendly they might consider setting up a program to collect these from your city and return them for reuse. The shipper could save considerably on costs and you might have found a new business.

Donate to food banks or post them up for sale on Craigslist for $5 each. They're kind of expensive these days and fishermen/campers frequently want them.

Start harvesting organs.
At today’s interest rates and inflation, this is the only viable solution.

Chop the Styrofoam into little pieces. Place in glass bottle. When the time is right, add gasoline. Now you have napalm. Rag for wick./s <-- this means I'm just kidding and you should never, ever do this or throw it at fascists.

Soundproof your sex dungeon?
That is a ridiculous suggestion. Clearly OP has already soundproofed their sex dungeon and wants to know how to use them next.

Yes or just flog them on Ebay/marketplace etc

As someone with cystic fibrosis, I've got the same problem but once a month. So much packaging. And then if you need a port for two weeks? Here's your lifetime supply of materials.

I keep napalm for starting fires at home and camp. Can't be beat!

I dunno about that. I have a pile of coolers behind the shed, all shapes and sizes, that I've picked off the road for free.

We've soundproofed one sex dungeon, yes, but what about second sex dungeon?
