Seattleites planning a move can avoid the routine hassle and cost of cardboard boxes by calling FROGBOX – a local outfit that delivers plastic, stackable boxes to your old house then picks them up once you’ve moved into your new place, introducing a word not normally associated with moving: Convenience.
FROGBOX estimates that the greater Puget Sound area residents use about 1 million cardboard boxes PER MONTH for moving, making the ergonomic, reusable boxes – that are delivered in biodiesel trucks – a fantastic alternative to their cardboard counterpart. “Cardboard can be used twice, but FROGBOXES can be used about 400 times before they’re recycled,” says Jeff Hill of Frogbox.
Frogbox is striving to live their values and as such the firm donates 1% of gross revenues to frog habitat restoration initiatives in the Northwest. They recently gave to a local conservation project that is working to revitalize the endangered Oregon Spotted Frog, of which only 400 exist in the Canadian wild. “Frogs accurately indicate how healthy our ecosystem is, and globally they are disappearing faster than dinosaurs did,” Jeff says. “We want to be a part of the solution that turns this dire trend around.”
FROGBOX is in the process of expanding across Canada and down the US West Coast, sticking to their core business of weaning movers from their dependence on cardboard. We think this is a great idea and we are very happy to help spread the word around town. In fact, GreenDwellingSeattle has decided that we will offer the services of Frogbox to all of our Real Estate clients from now on and be happy to pay for a three week rental of the boxes needed for their move.
