Box Hustle: Turning Used Moving Boxes into Cash
An increasing number of people are earning extra money by collecting and reselling used moving boxes. With approximately 50 million Americans moving annually, many boxes end up discarded. Companies and individuals will buy these used boxes, often for $0.50 to $2 each, to resell to new movers. Sources for acquiring boxes include asking friends/family, Craigslist (where people often give them away for free), local businesses, and online platforms like ContainerExchanger.com and BoxCycle.com.
