Free: In need of free boxes for moving

[Glock_Man_21]

I'm in need of boxes to store and move my father in law's things as well as some my family's as well. We are selling our home to buy something big enough for him and us so money is tight, especially with Christmas coming up. So need all we can get and not having much luck finding many for free. Anything anyone close to the west side of Indy/Avon area can offer will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Not sure if I'm posting in the correct forum, if not mods please direct me to the correct location . Thanks.

Go by a McDonald's and ask for Fry boxes

Not sure how quickly you need them, but the post office has free boxes available:

They aren't huge, but a good assortment of sizes to choose from. But they take a few days to show up, so if you have an immediate need, might not be an option for you. Good luck with the move!

Meijer has all you want.

Do you know anyone at your local Lowes? Go by & ask if they can save you some "99" boxes. They get small items in, in them. You would not believe how much cardboard gets thrown away, including perfectly good boxes. They break down flat, have a built in lid, can handle weight like dishes & such. Usually if they save them, they'll need to be picked up early or someone else will grab them, or they get recycled not reused.

If you're willing to go a bit further south to Columbus, I have a stockpile of oil cases (24 1qt bottles) and diaper boxes. Not that large but lots of them. They're what I used to move the last 2 times.

I have just finished a move myself. I will gather what boxes I have available and send you a PM.

There was a member on here who gave me nice plastic boxes from Lily's where he worked several years ago when I bought my house. Maybe he will see this and remember and hook you up. They were nice!

Payless shoe stores has good size sturdy boxes. Our local one just breaks them down and puts them in a cardboard dumpster.

Check your local Craigslist, the one here always has Free Moving BOXES
