Sample Moving Tip:

Make Moving Boxes Movable

Moving boxes come in a variety of types and styles. There are small, medium, and large boxes, as well as item specific boxes such as:

Wardrobe boxes for clothing on hangers
Dish packs for your kitchenware and breakables
Picture boxes for your framed pictures
Book boxes for heavy books and photo albums
TV and electronic boxes for electronics and media items, file boxes for your desk files, and lamp boxes for lamps and shades.

When choosing box sizes for your move, make sure you use the right boxes for the appropriate material. You don’t want to load up a large box with books and heavy objects. You want the boxes to be no more then 25-30 lbs each to make it easier for the movers to handle. Heavier boxes are easier to drop. Keep your boxes on the lighter side to prevent your possessions from falling and getting damaged.”

Eco-superheros Moving Boxes Man and Boxy Expose the “Recycling Industry by Preventing Box Abuse and Promoting Box Reuse

Eco-superheros Moving Boxes Man and Boxy prevent box abuse and promote box reuse.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 19, 2009

Enter Boxy and Moving Boxes Man, part human, part box, these “cardborgs” have built a website that offers gently-used shipping boxes sold in moving kits with 1-3 day free delivery, nationwide.

They’ve joined the Used Cardboard Boxes, Inc network which has revolutionized the moving and shipping box industries. It supplies high-quality used boxes for moving, packing, shipping, and storage to both consumers and businesses. They’re helping eliminate the need for “dumpster diving” or “box begging” for abused boxes that may be damaged or unsanitary.

How Used Cardboard Boxes works:

    a new box is created by any given box manufacturing company
    the box is purchased and gently used once to ship packaged parts or products from a supplier to a manufacturer or distributor
    after the part or product has been unpacked, the box is gently flattened and stacked on a pallet
    when the pallet is fully stacked, it’s either loaded on a truck and sent to another supplier or distributor that purchased boxes wholesale or,
    the boxes are sorted into moving boxes sizes and packed into moving kits, which can be ordered online
    the moving kits are picked up by a UPS truck and delivered for free anywhere in the continental U.S. to retail customers

This new model for box reuse makes it possible for eco- and cost-conscious consumers and companies to have a viable alternative to the agonizing price of new boxes and the anxiety of trying to scrounge used boxes from grocery stores or classified ads.

This process is environmental education in action and promoted through several “eco-edu-mercials” posted on the GoGreenMovingBoxes.com YouTube channel. They’ve posted fun and informative videos that help educate consumers about the reality behind the cardboard industry using “eco-super-hero” characters “Boxy” and “Moving Boxes Man”.

Recycling is a feel-good word… as it should be… but what’s often forgotten is that a lot of what’s recycled can, and should be, re-used. Recycling is costly, a source of pollution and requires water, energy, fuel, chemicals and other inputs.

Here are a few stats to put the cardboard industry into perspective:

    The EPA reports that the US commercial sector generates more cardboard than any other material in the nation.

    Over $ 40 billion in cardboard boxes are produced in the U.S. each year.

    The EPA estimates that 14% of all municipal solid waste is made of cardboard containers.

    Approximately 43 million Americans move each year.

Most cardboard is recycled, however very few boxes are used more than once. The typical shortened life-cycle of a box means dropping a box’s value from dollars to pennies. With GoGreenMovingBoxes.com and the Used Cardboard Boxes, Inc network, the value of the box is sustained. This allows cycles of reuse to occur and reoccur within the US, thus saving the nation’s trees, sustaining jobs and providing consumers and companies with a green low-cost alternative to new boxes.

GoGreenMovingBoxes.com, also has a business-to-business offering where companies can buy boxes in truckload quantities for shipping. Alternatively, if a company has pallets of reusable boxes it wants to sell for more than what the recycler pays, it can enter box dimensions, quantity, and location to be evaluated for purchase.
