After a Mississauga, ON moving company has safely moved your things to your new home and you’ve had the chance to unpack, what are you going to do with the mountain of boxes you’re left with? One option is to deconstruct them, bind them with cord and put them on the sidewalk in time for the next recycling pickup. But that will take a lot of work, especially if you have dozens of boxes. While recycling is a live option, here are a few other things you can do.
Give Them Away
One of the best ways to get rid of your used moving boxes is to give them away. As you can imagine, there are always people moving all over the place regardless of the season. Many of these people would be tickled pink to be able to get a hold of used moving boxes either for free or for a low fee. Used moving boxes are of a much higher quality than the free boxes you can find at a grocer, so ensure that someone else gets to put your used moving boxes to good use. You can either post an ad on an online site or ask around to see who might need them.
Use as Storage Boxes
Some of your used moving boxes can be repurposed as storage boxes. Whether in your basement, garage or even in a storage unit, you can use rugged and durable moving boxes to safely contain some of your possessions.
Use as Gift Boxes
If you have used moving boxes, they’re likely of different shapes and sizes. Some of them might make great gift boxes at some point. Whether for gifts marking anniversaries, graduations, birthdays, holidays or other special occasions, you can make good use of used moving boxes by repurposing them as gift boxes.
Care Packages
Do you know anyone in need? Used moving boxes can be used to create care packages for people of all ages. You can put groceries in them for families, put stuffed animals and toys for children or put basically whatever you want in them to bless the lives of people who are in need.
These are just some of the things you can do with your moving boxes after you’ve used them. Any of these options, or a combination of some of them, will do if you need to repurpose them. Yes, it’s alright to simply recycle them, but repurposing them somehow is an option, too.
