Need Free Moving Boxes? Hereโ€™s How to Get $75 Worthโ€”Fast!

So, youโ€™re moving? Let me guessโ€”youโ€™ve got a million things running through your head, and now youโ€™re on the hunt for free moving boxes. First of all, good call. Boxes can add up fast, and spending money on cardboard feels like tossing cash out the window.

But hereโ€™s the thing: If tracking down free boxes near me sounds like a lot of running around, EZ Breezy Movers has you covered. Right now, weโ€™re offering $75 worth of free boxes when you book packing services with us. Oh, and fun factโ€”weโ€™re A+ accredited by the BBB and have a 5-star Google rating (we may be the moving pros, but our customers are the real MVPs).

Anyway, letโ€™s dive in. Iโ€™ve got some great spots around MinneapolisSt. Paul where you can score free moving boxes if youโ€™re up for the hunt.

Where to Find Free Moving Boxes

Letโ€™s be real: boxes are kind of everywhereโ€”you just need to know where to look. And lucky for you, the Twin Cities are packed with hidden gems for grabbing free cardboard.

1. Grocery Stores and Liquor Shops

Have you ever noticed the mountains of boxes at stores like Cub Foods or Lunds & Byerlys? Yeah, those are gold. Swing by in the morning when theyโ€™re unpacking deliveries, and donโ€™t be shyโ€”ask someone if you can snag a few. Liquor stores are another jackpot. Their boxes are small and sturdy, perfect for heavy stuff like books (or that crazy kitchen gadget you havenโ€™t used since last Thanksgiving).

2. Facebook Groups and Craigslist

I swear, Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist are like treasure maps for free boxes. Just type in โ€œfree moving boxes,โ€ and youโ€™ll find people practically begging you to take their leftovers. Why? Because no one wants to deal with a pile of boxes after a move. Bonus: most people are super chill about you just swinging by to grab them.

3. Friends, Family, and Neighbors

This one might seem obvious, but sometimes the best answers are the ones you donโ€™t overthink. Ask around! Text a friend, post in your neighborhood group, or just yell out to your neighbor across the fence (okay, maybe donโ€™t yell). Odds are someone has extra boxes sitting in their basement collecting dust.

Skip the Hunt With EZ Breezy Movers

Now, letโ€™s be honest. Hunting for free boxes isnโ€™t always easy. Sometimes the store doesnโ€™t have what you need, or that Craigslist listing gets snatched up before you even hit refresh. Thatโ€™s why weโ€™ve made it simple: $75 worth of free moving boxes when you book with EZ Breezy Movers. Big ones, small ones, tape to hold it all togetherโ€”we bring it to you so you can focus on more important stuff, like figuring out where the TV remote is going in the new house.

And if youโ€™re worried about whoโ€™s handling your move, let me just say this: weโ€™ve been at this a while, and our customers love us (hello, 5-star Google rating!).

What to Look for in a Free Box

Not all boxes are winners, so keep an eye out for these three things:

  • Sturdy is the name of the game. You donโ€™t want the bottom dropping out halfway up the stairs.
  • Skip the mystery stains. I mean, do I even need to explain this one?
  • Big and small matter. Big boxes are great for things like pillows, but if you load one up with books, youโ€™ll never lift it. Use smaller boxes for heavier items.
