bubblewrap
Where can I get bubblewrap for free? I live in the Boston area. Also, this is the first time I have asked a question. Is this the right category to post it?
Thanks,
Karen

Not sure about your area but quite often on our Craig's List there are ads under 'wanted' for bubble wrap.......might try that. Depends on what size you are looking for I guess.......how specific you want it to be. I am sure these will be all sizes.
I have given some away through CL.

Check with stores that sell fragile items, furniture stores, friends and family, etc. I used to sell collectible glassware on eBay and I never purchased peanuts or bubblewrap because I would find it myself.
Good Luck!Mary

If you have a FreeCycle in your area, you might try joining and posting there, as well. It is amazing what people save and then are willing to give to you just because you asked! I've been guilty of it myself.
You don't mention why you want bubble wrap specifically, but you can also use newspaper and/or plastic shopping bags to cushion very well - both are easier to get free.DH aka Mad Hen
