I've always thrown out my boxes, but damn am I happy my folks kept my boxes/not for my N64/gameboy/C64. Was a nice surprise to find 20 years later.
Still gutted they threw out the OG apple Mac I'd found though.

My dad sold off his Apple IIe and I’d kill for that damn thing back.
I can’t get Adventure Construction Set working in emulation…
My wife get so annoyed at my boxes
My parents used to feel the same way.
Aren't green bins usually for yard waste and food scraps?
My town uses blue (normally recycling) for trash.
We have blue for trash and blue with a yellow lid for recycling
When we moved we cleared out our closet of tech boxes. Found a few accessories and whatnot still in there. Consolidated down to just a few boxes to hold accessories and documentation. Now we’re slowly building the collection again, but we’re better than before. (Mostly because having a kid cut our disposable income quite considerably).
Day one I toss the box as soon as I see it turns on, I don't have spare room for boxes
Can't speak for the switch 2 but for my switch I still have the box and use it every time I pack up and stay in an air bnb or something
