BoxSave

About

BoxSave is an Arlington-based moving box rental service that delivers reusable plastic crates across Greater Boston. Instead of buying, taping, and throwing away cardboard, customers pack and stack the crates, then return them after the move. The service is aimed at people who want a simpler, less wasteful move, and reviewers note that the sturdy crates give them more confidence when packing fragile items than flimsy cardboard does.

The process is three steps: free delivery in Greater Boston, packing and moving, then free pickup at the new home. Over eight years, the company has delivered more than 200,000 reusable boxes in the Boston area, which it estimates has kept over 110 tons of cardboard out of the waste stream. Customers who need help with moving, packing, or storage can request a quote from its partner, Exela Movers.
