Free moving boxes: 5 Valuable tips to find them
Help, the banana boxes are going to disappear! And those are
just the perfect free moving boxes: stackable and sturdy, and you can always
get them here or there for free. They would be replaced by collapsible plastic
crates, also known as folding boxes. But don't worry: we have collected 5 tips
that will put you on the way to free alternatives to the banana box.
1.
Search for free moving boxes on the internet
You can occasionally find free moving boxes on websites. Few
people give the boxes away for free, but you might be in luck. Google it. Even
on forums, someone sometimes wants to get rid of their moving boxes for free
after they have proven their service. If you can't find free moving boxes in
your area, consider buying them secondhand and then reselling them yourself for
a small price. Then they will eventually be (almost) free.
2.
Free moving boxes from the moving company or
storage company
If you plan to hire a moving company, you will often receive
free moving boxes on loan. Or maybe you rent a temporary storage space? You can
often get free moving boxes there too. Be sure to ask the moving company or
storage company you work with!
3.
Dare to ask used moving boxes from friends and
family
Everyone has moved at some point, so many people have moving
boxes somewhere in their house. So be sure to ask about it in your area.
Sometimes they haven't been unpacked yet, so your question might be a welcome
incentive for your friends or family to finally unpack those boxes.
4.
Ask for cardboard boxes at work.
Many companies receive goods or office supplies in cardboard
boxes. So you can check with the warehouse of the company where you work or
where your partner or family members/friends work. Maybe they can keep a pile
of cardboard boxes for you, which would otherwise only increase the waste
mountain.
5.
Fruit boxes at the supermarket
The banana box may disappear, but we would be surprised if
all sturdy fruit boxes are taken out of circulation in the short term. Those
things are simply too practical for that. Other fruit also needs to be
transported, so there are also orange boxes, apple boxes, you name it. And by
the way, those well-known banana boxes are probably not gone immediately,
either.
