rent a green box

APRIL 10, 2008

Do you have a big move coming up? Instead of buying all those expensive cardboard boxes or schlepping all over town to pick up used ones, consider a new option: rent a green box.

The founder of Earth Friendly Moving realized that sooner or later all moving boxes end up in the trash. He had the brilliant idea of creating a reusable box from recycled plastics (hence, called the RecoPack). The boxes come in 3 sizes and can be rented for your move. They are currently serving Southern California, but plan to go nationwide.

I’m not sure how often you can recycle cardboard and if they accounted for that, but it is exciting that someone has thought of a whole new option.
