Any value in all packaging?

[leonk]

I recently won the following eBay auction:

The TV came with everything, all packing material, plastic bags, manuals, etc. I might as well have purchased this TV in a retail store today!

But alas, I purchased the TV to place on my built-in bookcase, to show off and once in a while to use. I personally don't care about the box/packaging (I live in a tiny home in downtown Toronto and don't have space to store empty boxes).

So my question is, what do people think about what I'm about to do? i.e. put the box + packaging out in my recycling bin!!!
