Free boxes for moving

free boxes

Where can you get free moving boxes from?

There are actually many places where you can get free boxes for packing and moving.

Try for example:

  • Liquor stores (They’d love to get rid of their wine boxes without having to unfold them)
  • Grocery stores (All of them will give them to you, just ask)
  • Walmart, Sam’s Club, and Costco will love to give your their extra cardboard boxes for free. The movers won’t complain.
  • Find out when recycling is picked up in your neighborhood. (Walk around your neighborhood 30 – 45 minutes before the recycling truck shows up and you will most likely find a bunch of used boxes)
  • If you are moving into a storage unit, make sure you ask them if they have used boxes you may have. Most of the time they will have them and they will gladly give them to you if you are moving into their storage facilities.
  • You can also try Craigslist, Freecycle, and even the app OfferUp for free boxes.

Tip:

How to pack books?

Before we start packing books, we must know the right size box for them. Books are heavy!

The book box is 1.5 cubic feet and measures 17”x12 3/8”x 12 3/8”. This box is the smallest of the standard-sized boxes, and because of that, it is the ideal choice for packing heavy items and small items.
This is one of the most common moving box sizes, and can be used for a wide variety of items.
Never pack books in big boxes. They won’t hold the weight and most people won’t be able to move them.

How to properly pack books in 3 easy steps

Step 1: Prepare the Box for Packing

If you are using new boxes, you’ll need to put them together first. Make sure you seal the bottom well by doubling the amount of tape. If you’re-using a recycled box, we recommend you always tape the bottom again with packing tape to make sure it will hold. Continue reading “How to pack books”
