I'd like to encourage our clients to consider the environment when they plan their move by suggesting an alternative to cardboard moving boxes - FROGBOX plastic, re-usable totes and wardrobes.

We all are concerned about doing our part to reduce our environmental footprint. However, better than recycling, is re-using, which takes less energy. FROGBOX totes are re-used hundreds of times before being fully recycled, while cardboard is used on average less than two times before being recycled or disposed of.

These plastic moving boxes are 2.4 cubic feet (70 liters). They are 24 inches by 20 inches by 12 inches. If you go to their website, www.frogbox.com you can see just how much you can fit into one of these totes.

Take a look at the Daybreak Supplies FROGBOX pictured with this blog. There are over 90 items in that box! Moving is all about organization and having the right tools for the job. Once I load my FROGBOX into my car, I am confident that I haven't forgotten a thing. The real trick is knowing how to re-pack the box, but our organizers have that down to a science!

Besides offering a "green" moving solution, re-usable boxes also save time and money. No assembly, no fussing with sticky packing tape and scribbling over top of old moving labels. Just pack and stack!
