Instructions

1. Clean the moving boxes of dust and grime.

2. Measure the dimensions of the moving boxes using the measuring tape.

3. Take pictures of your moving boxes.

4. Post an ad with an online classified advertisement website, such as Craigslist, or on a moving box recycling website, such as BoxQuest or BoxCycle (see Resources).
