Default Waxed cardboard boxes?

Does anyone know where I can find some cheap waxed cardboard boxes
for growing seedlings in?

I need some that are about 6x6x1".


Processed chicken normally comes in a waxed box. These boxes don't
normally go to a box compactor. They are normally disposed of with
processed food and produce compaction. Because of dangers related to
chicken type related bacteria, its doubtful that a grocery store
would give such a box to the public. This despite the chicken itself
is kept in hermitically sealed plastic within such a box.


It's for sprouting wheat grass for my pet birds, I sure wouldn't use
anything but new clean non-toxic boxes.
