Can anyone tell me how much packaging material Ikea generally use with their products? I've got a bunch of things coming on Saturday and am wondering how much packaging I'm going to end up wrangling.

Lots of flattish cardboard, some strapping, the occasional foam corner. Plastic bags on any fabric stuff usually have recycle bin appropriate numbers on them.

That is good to hear, I was a bit worried I'd signed myself up for a bin full of plastics.

Awesome. I can use some extra cardboard to go under some mulch in the garden to keep the weeds down in a few spots πŸ™‚

I think you said lots of shelves? Plenty big cardboard! Grab some U pins and you’re done with mulch for the year.
