Moving Boxes

Moving boxes are usually in good enough shape to use again by you or someone else. The following resources are available for your slightly used moving boxes, or as a source for slightly used moving boxes.

U-Haul Take a Box/Leave a Box and U-Haul Box Exchange Program
A Take a Box/Leave a Box display is available at U-Haul facilities throughout North America. The program enables customers to return their reusable boxes and allow other customers to take them as needed – FREE.

The Box Exchange Program allows U-Haul customers to log on to www.uhaul.com/boxexchange to post their available boxes, for free or for a fee, or to review messages from individuals in their area who are offering reusable boxes.

Also try the Freecycle Network. The Freecycle Network™ is made up of 4,234 groups with 4,449,000 members across the globe. It's a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (& getting) stuff for free in their own towns. It's all about reuse and keeping good stuff out of landfills. Each local group is moderated by a local volunteer. Membership is free.

If your cardboard boxes are not re-useable, they can be recycled at one of the Kent County recycling centers.
