Selling your Moving Boxes

Moving day has come and gone. The movers moved you into your new home in less than a day (maybe even within a couple hours). You have finally gotten settled into your new home, a new routine, and a new beginning.images

Now several weeks later you still have a garage full of empty, flattened moving boxes and have no idea what to do with them! You hate to throw them all in the trash. But how in the world do you recycle them? All you know is that you want your garage back and would actually like to park your car in there in case it starts snowing outside!!

It’s not exactly a resume builder, but there are a growing number of people who make extra money collecting and reselling used moving boxes.  The best part about it is that this one costs you nothing to invest, just a little time.

So, here’s the deal.  The Census bureau estimates that about 50 million Americans move each year and every time they move they are purchasing dozens of moving boxes from companies like U-Haul and UPS. Most of those end up in trash or the city recycling bin. It’s a waste, but most of all it’s foolish. That’s because there are companies that will buy your used moving boxes for anywhere between .50 to $2 a piece depending on the size. They turnaround and resell those boxes to new movers, thus making a profit as well.

Even better there are tons of people giving away their used moving boxes on Craigslist which you can collect and turnaround for a profit. I’ve made hundreds of dollars picking up free boxes around town and selling them to used moving box companies.
