Green Company - FROGBOX, the right way to move
If you were a student not living from home, you probably have moved several times during the duration that you’re a student. I was personally in Kingston Ontario for about 6 years, which I moved 5 times. When I move, there are two types of moving boxes: cardboard boxes and plastic totes. For cardboard boxes, we usually take some from grocery stores or collect used ones from the lab. We moved so much that we know which types of boxes are sturdier than others! Yes, those apple boxes =). For certain items that may contain liquid (shampoo, sauces, cleaning products, …etc), we use plastic totes. We reuse these cardboard boxes, give them away when other people need them, and we’ve recycled others when we don’t need them anymore. We keep all plastic totes.
We try as hard as we can to not buy any boxes, and we’ve done quite well. But wouldn’t it be nice to just rent some reusable boxes for the move? Well, if you live in Vancouver, you’re lucky! FROGBOX does exactly this! It’s an awesome idea and in an environmentally conscious and transient city like Vancouver, they could do quite well! The process is simple - they drop them off, you pack the boxes and move, and finally they pick up the boxes! I would consider using it in my next move if I need more boxes!
