What to do with the bike box after unpacking your bike?

[Frogatthefarriers]

When you fly in with your bike to start your Camino, and you’ve gone with the cardboard bike box option, and you’ve unpacked your bike ready to go, what do you do with the (now redundant) box?

It looks like I’ll be able to borrow a ”proper” bike box so I won’t have this problem. I’m just curious.

Have seen them left for the terminal cleaners at the airport. Have also seen one that clearly had been stored somewhere to be re-used.

You could ask the accommodation you end at about disposal but assume they might ask for a fee. For example, at San Martin Pinario in SDC there are new cardboard bike boxes stored in one of their many spaces so it could be stored there for re-use.

Left mine at Bayonne railway station after checking with the counter staff as to where it could be left for recycling or disposal.
