Moving can be one of the most stressful experiences. Between organizing your belongings, packing up the whole space, and ensuring nothing gets damaged, the process is quite overwhelming. Cardboard boxes aren’t the most durable and can easily crack or break. They aren’t also environmentally friendly since most are one-time use.
Renting moving boxes can make moves easier for your clients and profitable for you. Multi-use moving boxes or totes are strong, easy to clean, and easy to organize. Rent them out to clients who are moving. Once they finish, collect the boxes, sanitize them, and rent them to the next client. This group called Moving Box Rental Side Hustle for Women Entrepreneurs on Facebook is the best support you’ll ever find. Give it a look!
Here’s why you should consider renting moving boxes for your next side hustle: 1. Environmentally Friendly
Traditional cardboard boxes generate a significant amount of waste. Most of these boxes end up in landfills after a single use. Renting moving boxes is a sustainable alternative that has a usability life of 7 to 8 years. They are often made from recycled materials and thus, minimize your carbon footprint.
2. Durable and Sturdy
Plastic moving boxes offer superior protection compared to cardboard. They are sturdier, water-resistant, and less likely to collapse or tear. Your belongings remain safe, even during long-distance moves or rough weather. It is best to transport fragile items such as glassware, electronics, and antiques.
3. Easy of Use
As a rental company you will have to deliver the boxes to your customer’s doorstep and pick them up after the move. It is a simple process. The boxes are stackable and you can fit 7-10 in a small SUV. If you have a truck, you can fit up to 20. Most customers need 14-30 boxes, which can be moved in just 2 trips.
Used cardboard boxes can harbor dust, pests, and bacteria, so they get thrown away after a single use. Once you clean and sanitize the plastic boxes between use, they are good as new for the next customer.
4. Easy To Label
Customers can peel off stickers, so labeling is mess-free and any mistake can be corrected easily. Each box packs less than a cardboard, which makes it easy to track what things are stored where.
6. Helps A Common Problem
Moving is most of the time chaotic and disorganized. Clients can rent moving boxes to add structure and order to the process. They are durable, stackable, and easily identifiable, all of which reduces stress.
