I generally scan mine and save them and send them to the Boxartden.com . Some classics or good art I frame and display in the "mancave"  I know a couple of boxart collectors  to whom I send the actual boxtops (for price of the postage)
and they in turn send me scans . I publish a few of them in my blog from time to time.

There's a... BOX ART DEN?!

Cooooool! After checking it out I notice catalogues as well. Do you think they'd be interested in an Academy 2016 catalogue? Who do I send it to?

Ive saved  quite a few other boxarts and framed them since this photo was taken.

Framing them is a good idea. Right now, mine are broken down into flat cardboard and stored in a sub-section of the Stash.

Recycle - whether that means the recycling bin, or using it to store another kit/s. New 1/48 Airfix boxes are good for the latter.

My decals are in an Academy 1/48 Bf109 box, my Weapons and General Spares are both in old kit boxes too (Italeri 1/72 Ju52 I think).
