    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 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.

        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.

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

                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.

                  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 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.

                          I mean yeah, normal coolers arent that hard to find. But, When you're fishing or bird hunting though it's often easier to throw a catch in a disposable cooler that doesn't need to be fully washed and sanitized and won't permanently end up smelling like whatever you got three weeks ago, because plastic is semi-permeable.

                            I would do Craigslist/marketplace. Find someone who resells them or uses them for some product and have them pick up every 3 months or whatever schedule for a set price. Way less hassle than finding a new buyer everytime.

                              Funny enough, I've done this before. The big issues is the styrofoam loses its fluff and you end up with a small glob. It'd be more effective to mix it in a bowl and pump it into the bottle.

                                Make some styrofoam swamp coolers. My AC is not catching up this summer and I have a few of these due to some eyedrops I've been getting shipped to me. I'm seriously considering building one until I get my AC serviced when it gets cooler.

                                      Everyone is out here telling you to sell them for $x meanwhile I'd suggest just giving them away for free to anyone willing to pick em up. No compromises.

                                        make molotov cocktails. nothing like the smell of homemade napalm and a little, uh, "civil disobedience" in the morning.

                                          Also, in these situations, you never want to use the rag as a stopper for a bottle filled with gasoline. Instead, you cork the top, soak the rag in oil, and tie it around the bottle neck. Light the rag. When the bottle breaks, it'll ignite the theoretical napalm.

                                          Doing this will keep the gas from spilling on you when you throw it. Safety first!

                                          /s <-- this is all a joke, of course and we definitely don't condone violence or burning fascists.
