Janis (and anyone else interested),

Do you know about the Freecycle network? It's a group of local online mailing
lists on which people can post items they're offering for free, or post about
items they'd like to receive for free. Anything that would be destined for the
landfill is fair game, and I often see packing materials listed. 

There are lists for Amherst, Northampton, the Hilltowns, Greenfield, and many
others. You can find them at http://www.freecycle.org/ .

Hope that helps -
Anne
