It’s Okay To Use Grocery Store Boxes When Moving Into Your Bothell Home

It's time to move, you're ready to pack to move into your Bothell home and you're stuck. How can you possibly do this move in a green way without causing a bad effect on the environment? With a little quick thinking, you can make this move happen in a green way without too much fuss.

 

Recycle boxes

A lot of people will tell you that you need to buy brand new boxes when you are planning to move into your Bothell home. This is complete rubbish. Every day thousands of boxes are being dumped either into the garbage or into recycle bins. Some of these boxes are strong enough for a move and deserve a second chance at life.

Some people will tell you to never pick up boxes from the grocery store because they are not strong enough.

Not strong enough? Really?

When you look at the full jars of giant pickles etc that are loaded into one box it makes you wonder. If this box could withstand the weight of full jars of pickles it should definitely be ably to withstand the weight of your empty glasses.

You have two eyes and common sense and can head to the grocery store and look and feel the boxes for yourself. Take the good ones and leave the bad ones behind It really is as simple as that.

Don’t believe everything you read or hear. A lot of this misinformation is being passed down by the big box companies that need you to buy their boxes when moving into your new home so that they can stay in business.
