Selling recycled boxes

Selling recycled boxes

Business Idea:

Making money by selling recycled boxes.

Overview:

People need boxes to move. While that’s not a secret, UsedCardboardBoxes.com has an interesting twist on providing boxes for people trying to pack their stuff.  They rescue large numbers of quality used boxes from businesses that no longer have any use for the boxes.  They also gather brand new misprints and overruns from box manufacturers that can't use for the boxes.

The idea behind the business is to provide an environmentally friendly way to sell boxes to people who would otherwise drive around searching for good quality boxes behind supermarkets and liquor stores.  In other words, the company makes it convenient and affordable to get decent boxes to move or store things.  As anyone who has ever paid full price for moving boxes can corroborate, packing a house full of stuff into new boxes can get expensive.

The company uses what they call a “Rescue, Resell, Recycle system" to give the best deals to people interested in second hand boxes.  They also use bulk purchasing, centralized web-based infrastructure and channel marketing programs to keep costs down.

The boxes selected by the company have only been used once, and are guaranteed to work just as well as a new box.   The company does not stock every box size and dimension available, and instead concentrate on the sizes and shapes used most often by self-movers and professional moving companies.
