Go to supermarkets and ask for them. They'll usually give them for free as longs as they haven't crushed them yet.

Not around me - if you ask you might get 1 or 2 at most because they get paid for recycling them.

When I moved, I bought boxes from U-haul, not cheap, but not too expensive either.

You can stop by my work, and pick up as many as you want. I'm constantly kicking them out of the way, especially on Tuesdays and Thursdays when we get our Subaru RSO.

Last Thursday, 29 boxes. Nice big boxes.
