Cardboard vs. Totes
Earth is our home, so let’s help protect it!
We’ll use Home Depot and Uhaul for our comparison. They offer variety packs, but who knows how many you need to buy in each size? They have so much variety that it can add MORE stress trying to decide. So to keep it simple (we like easy, right!?) we’ll go based off the box closest in size to our tote.
Home Depot – $2.48 per box, $17.98 for tape gun with 1 roll, then $5.98 each additional tape roll
Uhaul – $2.85 per box, $4.95 per tape roll, $9.95 for tape gun
Let’s not forget to consider the time it takes you to figure out how many and what size, pick them up, assemble the boxes (don’t cut yourself on that tape gun!), figure out how to stack them based on size/weight, break them down after, then recycle. Ouch! SO time consuming.
If you rent our totes for 2 weeks, we charge $0.40 per tote, per day. I’ll do the math for ya.. $5.60.
Your totes come straight to your door assembled, baby! Just pack, move, then stack them as you unpack, and we’ll pick them up when you’re finished! Easy peasy.
Best case scenario.. cardboard averages up to 20 uses, then the fibers become too weak. Then only about 68% of people recycle the cardboard. Not all of it is accepted due to packing tape. For each cardboard box that IS accepted, 40% can be used to make a new one, and the other 60% is not useable. This portion gets burned, releasing C02 emissions into the atmosphere, or dumped in a landfill where it releases methane gasses contributing to global warming.
Our bins can be used again and again (up to 400 times or more.) This drastically exceeds cardboard. Then, when it is time to say goodbye to a tote due to damage or wear and tear, we create a new purpose for them! Since they are made out of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), we are able to take them to a recycling plant where they can create a new HDPE item. This successfully creates zero waste! Unlike cardboard where a high percentage lands in a landfill, we are doing our part in helping the environment by re-purposing plastic that already exists.
