They Make Recycled Boxes Their Business!
19 Nov
I was contacted yesterday with a request to write an article about a relatively new company and I approached the request with equal amounts of skepticism and intrigue! The request was to write about a company that takes used cardboard boxes and sells them back to businesses and the general public at low prices. What I found was an extremely environmentally aware business whose value system is centered around reducing waste and recycling as many cardboard boxes as humanly possible;

Their motto is;
“You don’t have to cut down a tree, to make a used cardboard box!”
The founder of the company, Marty Metro, started selling used cardboard boxes in his local neighborhood back in 2002 and he saw the potential for a big business;
“It’s true! In 2002, I started buying and selling used cardboard boxes in my neighborhood, just because I knew people wanted to get rid of them after they move… and I knew others would buy used boxes, if they were available. I figured I’d test it out and see if anything came from it.”
UsedCardboardBoxes.com doesn’t cut down any trees at all. They rescue truckloads of quality used boxes from large companies that might otherwise recycle them or simply throw them away. The recycled boxes are guaranteed to work just as well as a new box.

Marty Metro Started by Selling Boxes in his Neighborhood
The cardboard boxes they sell are either once used or may even be new factory misprints, overruns or customer returns that are no longer needed and would otherwise be trashed or sent straight to a recycling facility!
They offer lots of “moving packs” which are ideal for that next relocation, and they always include FREE SHIPPING!
Some of their boxes will have printing on them. Some may have tape, packing labels or even handwriting on them but this is a small price to pay for keeping all of those perfectly usable boxes in circulation. Watch a video of their recycling process here;
The company says that “No matter what you order from UsedCardboardBoxes.com, your satisfaction is guaranteed, 100%.” So what are you waiting for? If you need some cardboard boxes for moving, packing or storage, this is a great green alternative to just buying new.
