MOVING BOXES

Typical cardboard moving boxes often require you to use plastic tape which can be wasteful and expensive. Then most people don’t know what to do with all those cardboard boxes after a move. A moving box rental company bring boxes to you, then take them back for reuse when you're done!

MOVING BOXES

You can also get used boxes from your local stores or restaurants, often for free. Use sheets, towels, etc. to secure items in your boxes to reduce waste. Consider buying storage bins you can repurpose once you get to your new place.
