Moving from one place to the next means packing and emptying a lot of boxes. The bigger your house, the more boxes you have when the job is done. An average move uses around 60 boxes, a half-ton pine tree! There are many ways to reuse or recycle your boxes rather than putting them on the curb for the garbage man.
Of course, if you need boxes for your next move make sure to contact Men on the Move. We carry a large supply of boxes, tape, and other items you need for a successful move. Men on the Move is your one-stop shop for movers and moving supplies. Contact us today!
A great way to recycle moving boxes, or large appliance boxes is to give them to the kids. Children can decorate and create unimaginable things from cardboard. As a child, my favorite was to create a little house out of large recycled boxes. You can cut out a door, and windows, paint the house and let your imagination run wild. You can make costumes, castles, forts, furniture, and countless other creations from a simple cardboard box.
One that always comes up is storage. Large boxes are great for storing old clothes, one for summer and one for winter. Organize the attic or basement with moving boxes, and keep everything neat and tidy. Other uses for moving boxes can be as simple as putting them under the car to find a leak or using them for doormats when it is wet outside. I could go on forever giving you ways to recycle cardboard boxes, but we have created an entire Pinterest board showing you ideas with photos that others from all over have come up with.
So, have fun recycling those boxes and get creative!
