Have you ever wondered what to do with the boxes after the moving  service?  Not many consider what to do with the moving boxes once they have completed the relocation.

For some fast advice to make your post move process easier, here are a few things you can do with the used boxes:

Few Useful Tips For Your Need

1. Store boxes for future move : If you have a move coming up within a year or so, you’ll want to keep the cleanest and strongest cardboard boxes for your next move.

Flatten out the empty boxes and store them away from moisture and direct sunlight. If you would like to keep dust out, you can place the boxes in large plastic bags, heavy-duty trash bags would work fine.

2. Sell the boxes : If you are sure that you won’t need the boxes in the next year or so, consider selling the boxes for some extra cash.

3. Give away boxes : Giving moving boxes for free is an excellent option when your cardboard boxes are still usable and you don’t feel like going through the trouble of selling them for profit.

Check with your leasing office to see if any tenants who are moving in or out might want to take advantage of your extra supplies.

4. Contact a Charity or Community Organization : As they may need boxes for their own purposes help out a local community library, a school, community centers, food banks, churches, or other nonprofit organizations by donating cardboard boxes in good condition.

5. Recycle : Most cities and towns allow people to recycle large amounts of cardboard. Be sure to check online or call about restrictions such as the amount, size, and if the boxes need to be flattened.

You can always take boxes to a local recycle center.
