Moving Boxes
 
We have two move in deliveries in August, and I think my wife bought every Bankers Box in Virginia! Is there a way to recycle, give away or otherwise remove all of the empty boxes. I will give them away of someone can use them. ( I can’t believe that the trash pickup service would take them………would they?). I know this must be a common question.

Trash will pick them up. All waste is burned and converted to steam to power turbines to generate electricity.

30% of the waste in NYC is processed this way and nearly all in Europe.

You can post here something people moving out need boxes, if that don’t work as suggests tie them in bundles and put them out on curve on trash day.

Boxes
 
Thanks Toymeister. I received a private message about the boxes, but I have no idea how to possibly reply to it! If there is a REPLY button, they have hidden it well. The boxes will be available the week of August 23rd. Please send me another private message with an email or phone number so I can reply to you.
Also, any instructions on how to use the private email feature would be appreciated.
Thanks

We are interested in picking up some boxes. Please advise if/when we can. Thank you.

From your box comment sounds like your bringing far too much”stuff” you may wish you had left a sizable amount of your “stuff”either sold or donated. We found that if a do over we would sell most everything and buy turnkey or new.

You are undoubtedly correct.

Best to bring too much rather than regret leaving things behind.

It is nice what you are trying to do. As others have posted people move both in and out so people can use them. As far as trash there are several different companies that do the trash in different areas. Perhaps, old news ours is Waste Management and I was surprised they have no limit. Boxes that we tossed in the trash, it is easy to flatten them and stuff several into a box you do not crush.

Bankers boxes? My sister gave us some used ones for our move. I think they are expensive. I gave mine away. If the still exist, they must be like an antique trunk with world wide labels on them.

Yes, boxes are picked up by garbage trucks.

Bankers boxes are pretty small. They don't hold that much, but they are much easier to carry...
