Renting boxes not only saves you money 

but also helps save trees.

According to the ECCC, preventing one ton of paper waste can spare 15 to 17 trees. That means for every four moves using an 84-box three-bedroom moving box kit, a tree is saved from being cut down.

While many things contribute to emissions, what sets cardboard boxes apart from plastic ShiftU. moving boxes is their lifespan.

Costs Less than Cardboard Boxes!

Used Cardboard Traps

When dealing with bedbugs or other insects, the ECCC advises removing all cardboard boxes, as bugs tend to hide in them, and suggests using plastic boxes instead.

In addition to insects, plastic ShiftU. moving boxes address concerns about chemicals, bacteria, and pet dander, which is particularly important for households with allergy sufferers. Each plastic box is sanitized using an anti-viral disinfectant, ensuring the safety of you, your clothing, and your kitchenware.
