Recycle
If you want green relocation, recycling is the best option for you. If you don’t want to move anymore and your apartment is too small, then recycle and help the Earth. Don’t throw them away, even if it is the easiest solution. More people nowadays think green because Earth is more polluted and there is a lot of garbage. If you are moving a business, this will be good for your business reputation too.
Give them to someone who is moving soon
If your friends, neighbors, family members or someone you know is moving soon, give your moving boxes to them. If you don’t know anyone, use social media to ask people. Post it online, and someone will contact you for sure. Moving boxes are not free, so if someone is moving on a budget, this may be really helpful.

Depending on the place where you live, and conditions in a storage unit, moving boxes can be ruined after a while.
