Method 1 of 2: Finding Free Moving Boxes

1. 1 Visit grocery stores. Most of these stores are full of boxes to throw away, and if you talk to the store manager, there is every chance that you will go back with the loot.
   • Please note that the boxes are different. For example, apple crates work well for transporting fragile or heavy items.
2. 2 Visit major wholesale stores. Bookstores, liquor stores, restaurants, office supply stores, electronics stores and others will be happy to share empty boxes with you.
   • Find out on what days the goods are delivered in the store. Your chances of success will be higher on the evening of such a day, when the goods have already been received and taken out of the packages.
3. 3 Call banks and offices. Yes, sometimes there are also several boxes, which no one has ever gotten around to throwing away. Ream boxes are especially good, as they have lids.
4. 4 Ask the schools if they have any unnecessary boxes. Go to a cafe for the same purpose, go to offices. The boxes, as a rule, are just unnecessary rubbish, and you, the deliverer of this rubbish, will be welcome.
5. 5 Go to your local recycling center. Boxes can be found there.
6. 6 Talk to friends and family. After all, moving is a big event that everyone notices. Perhaps someone around you is just waiting to give you a whole garage of empty boxes that will do the job!

   • Place an ad to accept gift boxes. It's both free and effective!
2. 2 Look for boxes on Freecycle or similar. These sites serve to transfer things from people who no longer need them, people who really need them. Believe me, boxes there are a very popular and hot commodity.
