I'm a closet bubble popper, I only do it...alone, in a dark closet, where no one can here the tiny bubbles scream.
Can you resist the urge to pop bubble wrap? Share your thoughts!

BobG said:When the useful life of your bubble wrap finally comes to an end, it doesn't have to wind up in a landfill. You can ship it (at your cost) to one of the following http://www.sealedair.com/enviro/recycle_bubble.html .
Wait a minute! How are you supposed to protect your bubble wrap during shipment?
Protect it with styrofoam.
So how can I recycle those big pieces of styrofam that everything from China comes packed in??:
Has anyone tried running bubble wrap though a paper shredder? It would be easier to pack up and send to the recycling center that way. You could even stuff it into old plactic milk bottles for shipment.

Of course, if enough bubble-heads pool their resources, they could cover a football field with it and let the guys loose in their cleats.matthyaouw said:Psh! That wouldn't keep me amused for 20 seconds!

The lab tech in the lab I used to work in popped some of that...just to see what it would sound like (she was a bubble wrap popper too). We had people from the lab next to us coming over to make sure everything was okay after that one!

I just saw some of that for the first time today in a box.
I'd use a hammer for that.

Actually, the flat of my hand (or a book) seems to be the better than anything else - including a hammer.Mk said:
I guess in much the same way that a bellyflop is better than a swan dive when you're looking for the most 'pow'.
