Now, let’s get to the part you’re most interested in—where to get free moving boxes. Here are 25 nearby places to source packing boxes without spending a penny:
Start Close to Home
If you live in an apartment complex, check around the recycling areas. I’ve found so many boxes left out by neighbors who’ve just moved in.
A little tip: if you’re not sure, ask the building management if they have any leads on recent move-ins.
This is the second-best spot, and for good reason.
Grocery stores get daily deliveries and are practically swimming in cardboard boxes of all shapes and sizes.
The best time to try is early morning or late evening—right after deliveries.
The boxes liquor stores get are surprisingly sturdy, and because they’re meant to carry glass bottles, they’re perfect for fragile items like dishes or glassware.
The Nextdoor App is a neighborhood-focused platform where people often share resources and supplies, including free moving boxes.
Post an inquiry on the app asking if anyone has boxes available—people are often happy to give them away. If you prefer online shopping, this is one of the best options: to find free packing boxes.
Facebook Marketplace is another excellent online platform where people regularly offer free moving supplies, including packing boxes.
Look for gently used boxes that are still in good condition.
Free Tip: Set an alert for "free moving boxes" in your local area to grab them before anyone else does.
Craigslist’s “Free” section under “for sale” listings is often filled with people giving away boxes after they’ve finished their own move. I've found everything from large wardrobe boxes to smaller ones for knick-knacks.
Be quick though—good listings go fast.
Stores like Walmart and Target often have extra boxes. They are perfect for packing bulkier items like linens or even small furniture. Just ask the staff nicely, and don’t be shy about asking them to save boxes for you.
OfferUp is a mobile marketplace where people buy, sell, and give away items. It recently merged with another similar app, Letgo, to make it easier to find local deals.
Simply type "free boxes" into the search bar, and you'll find a list of people in your area who are offering them.
Pharmacies like CVS or Walgreens are often overlooked, but they receive a lot of inventory in small to medium-sized boxes. I’ve found these great for toiletries and bathroom supplies.
This is a goldmine! U-Haul has a box exchange where you can either give away or trade boxes. It’s great because you know the boxes are in good condition, and you’re helping out fellow movers.
Places like Staples, Office Depot, and OfficeMax regularly receive deliveries in durable and medium to large boxes.
Ask for cardboard boxes that come with electronic appliances and heavy office supplies. They’re typically very strong and will protect your delicate and prone to damage items during move from external harm and dents.
Mid-week is a great time to visit, as shipments often come in between Monday and Wednesday.
Cardboard boxes from bookstores are excellent for packing. These boxes are durable enough to hold heavy items, like your book collection, or even small appliances.
Educational institutions receive bulk shipments of supplies and may have spare boxes. They are best for scoring medium to large boxes, ideal for heavier or bulkier items. Contact the administration office or stationary supply room for availability.
Home Depot and Lowe’s often have leftover boxes from their shipments of home improvement items. Ask for large, thick cardboard boxes for packing tools, gardening supplies, personal gadgets, or home electronics.
Pro Tip: Check with the customer service desk—many stores are willing to give away their boxes.
Local recycling centers are a great place to check to source free moving boxes that have been discarded but are still in good, usable condition. Specifically ask for sturdy, undamaged boxes that can be reused. Visit earlier in the day when new boxes are more likely to be available.
Fast food chains like McDonald’s, Taco Bell, and Burger King receive shipments regularly and have many boxes in good shape and size to spare. Ask for boxes that hold food items like frozen goods or packaged ingredients. These boxes are usually smaller but strong, so they’re ideal for packing smaller household items.
Stores like Petco and PetSmart receive shipments of pet supplies in durable boxes, perfect for moving heavy or awkwardly shaped items. Ask the store manager or staff for larger boxes; used to ship pet food, toys, and other supplies. You can also ask the staff if they’re willing to set aside boxes for you after they unpack fresh deliveries.
Dollar stores like Dollar Tree and Dollar General receive daily shipments of small items packed in medium-sized boxes. You can use them to pack smaller household items or miscellaneous items. These stores often get shipments overnight, so visit first thing in the morning.
Warehouse stores like Costco and Sam’s Club have large boxes from bulk shipments they receive daily. They are best for large and bulkier items. Do check the recycling or loading area for discarded boxes.
Goodwill or Salvation Army stores receive donations in a variety of box sizes that they often discard. Ask the store manager or staff if they have any spare boxes from donation deliveries.
Offices get a lot of supplies shipped regularly in small to large-size boxes. Ask the facilities team at your workplace to set aside some boxes for you. Trust us, you’ll end up with a stack of thick packing boxes—free and easy.
Freecycle is a vast non-profit community network; it promotes free giveaways of items instead of throwing them out. Freecycle has plenty of people offering free moving boxes.

It sounds strange, but after a long day, vendors often have boxes left from unloading produce. You may get some really sturdy boxes from vendors at your local farmers market in bulk!
The best way to find free moving boxes near you is by visiting local grocery stores and liquor stores, or checking out online platforms like Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist. You can also ask your friends, family, or neighbors who may have recently moved.
Yes, free boxes can be just as sturdy as purchased ones. However, it’s important to select strong, undamaged boxes for packing fragile items. Liquor store boxes, for example, are often reinforced and ideal for protecting glassware or breakables.
This depends on the size of your home, how much you have to pack, family size, and how much clutter or storage you have. Homes with more items or storage spaces will require more boxes. It’s always better to collect a few extra just in case.

While some moving companies may offer free boxes as part of their services, this is not always the case. If you’re working with a full-service moving company, it's worth inquiring whether they can supply you with boxes. Otherwise, you might get charged, so it's often more economical to source free ones elsewhere.
Finding free moving boxes in reliable condition can be a fun scavenger hunt once you know where to look. From grocery stores to office supply shops, there are plenty of opportunities to score free packing boxes and save money while moving..
💡Don’t be afraid to ask—most people are happy to get rid of them, and you’ll be doing both your wallet and the planet a favor by reusing instead of buying new ones.
Good luck with your move, and remember, it’s these little wins that can make the whole process feel just a bit smoother!
