Tallyn’s is taking a hard look at the amount cardboard waste we are throwing out each week.  Ultimately, this cardboard waste & packaging material would end up in a landfill.

We are trying to do something about it !

Whenever possible, we will use TOP QUALITY, Recycled Boxes and Packaging,

saving you money in Shipping Costs and reducing our dependency on new cardboard boxes.  By cutting our new box usage in HALF, we are reducing landfill waste.  That’s a WIN – WIN for everyone !
