I am raising layers this year with plans to sell the extra eggs at our local Farmers Market. I have a zillion clean egg cartons that I need to obliterate the previous sellers info. I don't have labels but thought I'd use spray paint across the top. All my cartons are styrofoam,( just can't throw them out and the recycling doesn't take them.) I want to reuse but will paint hurt the cartons integrity? > Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2011 05:45:28 -0800 > From: vaspencer AT sisna.com > To: market-farming AT lists.ibiblio.org > Subject: Re: [Market-farming] cardboard egg cartons > > I asked my local supermarket manager if we could put a box in the > entrance to his store for recycled cartons.
