Use online platforms like Facebook Marketplace and Freecycle
Many social platforms can be a source of free boxes, including:
- Facebook Marketplace. If you have a Facebook account, you can search Facebook Marketplace for free boxes and other moving supplies.
- Craigslist’s Free Stuff sections are usually goldmines of moving supplies, especially boxes.
- Freecycle is a platform where people explicitly seek to give away stuff they don’t need anymore, and to find stuff for free they don’t want to (or can’t afford to) pay for. People routinely post moving boxes here, so it’s worth it to join your local Freecycle group to see if you can score some. If you don’t see any posts, you can make a request, which might prompt someone who hadn’t thought about giving away their boxes.
