ECO - Move House and help the Planet

You can reduce your environmental impact when you move house by using www.eco-boxes.co.uk, a new Internet company which supplies gently used recycled moving boxes to the public and removal companies, making it cheaper and greener to move house.

All boxes included in the ‘Eco moving packs’ are thoroughly checked for rips and tears, weakening of the box and marks or stains on the insides. Each pack contains a useful selection of 16 different size boxes, bio-degradable bubble wrap, non toxic parcel tape and a marker pen. When you finish with a box, simply let Eco boxes pick them up from you free of charge and they will then re-use your perfectly good boxes.

There is no time limit for keeping the boxes and the service is offered Nationwide, if you need to keep some of the boxes, the company will simply collect the number of Eco packs you wish to return. Sounds like a brilliant plan to me! Prices start at £29.99.
