It’s no accident that BoxCycle, a site for buying and selling used cardboard boxes started in San Francisco, a city embedded with tech-savvy citizens renowned for their commitment to simply living a better quality of life.

Let’s face it, when you need to move the temptation to hit up Staples for a stack of new boxes is often a time saving decision, in an ideal world of course you’d walk the streets and scavenge grocery stores to collect enough boxes for the move. BoxCycle gives you the best of both worlds, the convenience of online shopping with PayPal and the ability to re-use boxes.

You could probably even sell your boxes again when you’re done, it’s like craiglslist except someone else handles all the communication and matchmaking work. Prices range from 75 cents for an extra small box to a $1.25 for an extra large box.

Definitely a cool business model. I used a company just like it, last time. Called usedcardboardboxes.com. They do very similar, but they deliver to your door (anywhere in the country) for free. With the price of gas these days… well, maybe not TODAY, as its low… I like the idea of having the boxes come to me. Prices are super low and the last time I ordered, I got tape, paper, markers and a box cutter included. It came the day after I ordered, and shipping was free. Regardless, you got to love these companies that are coming up with new ways to promote greener, cleaner businesses.
