Throw it in The Burglar Box

Dec 07, 2023

Stay Safe and Recycle Your Gift Boxes

It's beginning to look a lot like...burglars taking advantage of you. During the holiday season thieves look for those big screen TV, computer and lawnmower boxes on curbs. Roughly 1 million burglaries take place in America annually. Approximately 83,000 of those take place during the month of December — or in other words, during the holiday season.

Don't make it easy for them! It only takes a few minutes out of your day to get these boxes out of the house and a lifetime to recover from a burglary. Please use one of the Burglar Box locations throughout Orange County.
