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.
