You don’t have to be an ‘eco-warrior’ to choose to use our Green Bins over cardboard boxes. It makes sense on many levels.
Convenience, Ease & Efficiency!
Cardboard… You have to beg, borrow, buy, (and yes steal!) enough sturdy cardboard boxes from wherever you can find them. You then have to buy rolls of packing tape to assemble them. If you borrowed the boxes, they won’t be clean or sanitized…Did you know bed bugs love to snuggle in the fibers of cardboard? You can’t stack them before or after use, so good luck finding space.
For the move, once assembled you need more tape to keep those the boxes closed. Oh yes, check the forecast. You have to hope that the precious contents of those boxes are safe if it rains during your move. Cardboard and water do not get on. Do you have enough newspaper to wrap the breakables? Oh, and you’ll need a dolly from somewhere – your back will thank you.
After the move, be careful slicing open those cardboard boxes…where did you put those scissors? Then you have to break down and dispose of that cardboard. It won’t all fit in the recycling can, so you’ll feel kind of bad leaving for it another week, or even worse putting it in the trash.
Green Bins…Go to rentgreenbin.com, choose your location, and order the Green Bins for the date you need. We deliver them cleaned & sanitized - no assembly or tape needed – along with 100% recyclable packing paper and a dolly or two depending on your order size! You pack, stack, and move…don’t worry if it rains. We will pick up the supplies after you’re done.
There really is no contest.
Affordability
A lot of people believe that choosing an ‘environmentally friendly’ option for anything in life costs more. That’s just not true with Green Bin® kathy ireland®. A one-week rental of our Green Bins costs less than a comparable cardboard box kit purchased from major ‘big box’ stores like Home Depot. ‘Big Box’ stores – do you see what we did there?
Sustainability
It’s true, Green Bin® kathy ireland® reduces the environmental impact of moving. Each of our Green Bins can typically be reused for 400+ moves, and they are fully recycled at the end of their life. Our packing paper is made of 100% post-consumer recycled material, and our reusable bins are sanitized with an anti-viral disinfectant after each use.
Each year, customers who choose Green Bin® kathy ireland® are diverting thousands of pounds of cardboard from landfills, saving hundreds of trees. What’s more, through our partnership with One Tree Planted, we will plant a tree for every single order placed.
