I see their packaging littering my building's garbage areas, on its way to landfills. So much garbage.

  Cities are responsible for garbage and many are aggressively trying to reduce waste. Many cities are looking strongly at business regulation as a way to do this. Fees on plastic bags is just one example of this. Blue Apron may eventually run into conflict with cities if their packaging is excessive and not compostable.

    All of their packaging (with the exception of any meat packaging) is fully recyclable or returnable for re-use. There won't be a conflict on BA's end. If anything, it'll be on the end of the consumer for not disposing and/or recycling properly.

      I've always wondered - which is worse? Tossing the packaging in the trash or burning fuel to ship it back to them. My gut says local recycling would be best, but sometimes there isn't a nearby use for post consumer materials.

        In that case, they do have local drop-offs too but they're usually at grocery stores so, if the point was to save yourself a trip, are you really doing that?

  This is such a shame as they offer a really, really easy recycling service for their boxes. The only caveat is that you have to have the stuff from at least 2-3 deliveries before you can send it back for recycling, but it's easily separated and costs nothing.
