BoxCycle - Buy and Sell Used Cardboard Boxes

By Glen Taylor - September 23, 2008

It's no accident that BoxCycle, a site for buying and selling used cardboard boxes started in San Francisco, a city embedded with tech-savvy citizens renowned for their commitment to simply living a better quality of life.

Let's face it, when you need to move the temptation to hit up Staples for a stack of new boxes is often a time saving decision, in an ideal world of course you'd walk the streets and scavenge grocery stores to collect enough boxes for the move. BoxCycle gives you the best of both worlds, the convenience of online shopping with PayPal and the ability to re-use boxes.

You could probably even sell your boxes again when you're done, it's like craiglslist except someone else handles all the communication and matchmaking work. Prices range from 75 cents for an extra small box to a $1.25 for an extra large box.

I know BoxGiver is a similar platform where people can donate their moving boxes and packing supplies.

we think we have a better idea.. why not use our plastic trash to re-invent the cardboard moving box and then we don't have to cut down a tree to make these boxes that end up in a landfill. Our box is called the recopack and it stands for recycled ecological packing solution, rents in three sizes and is delivered direct to your door on our fleet of trucks powered by waste veggie oil and bio fuel.
