Moving with cardboard boxes is a PAIN! If you are moving locally in the Greater Cincinnati or Dayton Area simplify your move by using rentable crates. We have complied 5 reasons why renting plastic moving crates with our team at VanGoose Crate Rental LLC can help you have a smooth move to your new residence.
Less Mess, Less Stress Moving
Moving is extremely stressful. According to a survey conducted in 2020, 44% of movers consider moving more stressful than a breakup or even divorce!¹ Renting moving crates simplifies the moving experience, making you less stressed. Clean stack of crates, easy booking process, one more thing checked off your list.
2. Reduce Waste
Moving generates huge amounts of waste every year. Renting crates can help by cutting cardboard box and tape roll usage. An estimated 900 million boxes and 30 million rolls of tape and are used for moving every year.² Crates can be rented over and over again eliminating what ends up in your trash bin and in landfills. Even recycling has its limitations. Cardboard is limited in how much it can be recycled. New cardboard has about 5 to 7 lives before it can’t be recycled again.³ Crates can be used hundreds of times.
3. Save Time
Sure, it doesn’t take long to build up and tape one cardboard box together, but what about enough boxes to pack your entire house? That will add up! Pack more productively. Crates allow you to just load and go! This is the way moving should be.
