Saving the Earth One Move at a Time

Rent-A-Green Box was founded on the simple idea that people should be able to efficiently pack and move their property without trashing our planet. To accomplish this goal, we created America's first comprehensive, Zero-Waste pack and move solution made from various recycled post consumer and industrial trash.

Our revolutionary idea has changed the way America packs and moves and gave birth to the Zero-Waste, Eco-Friendly Green Moving Industry.

We're now changing the way America and the world packs and moves and invite you to join us!

We created this industry, built it & continue to lead it.

Rent-A-Green Box is moving made simple. It's a cheaper, faster and easier way to pack and move a small one bedroom studio, family, business office or even a multinational corporation with our first to market Zero-Waste sustainable packing and moving products.

Our innovative service is great for our ecology, great for our environment and great for our economy. A big "WIN" no matter how you look at it!

But you don't need to just take our word for it. Rent-A-Green Box is one of the most award-winning "GREEN" companies in the world. Forbes.com listed Rent-A-Green Box as one of the top ten "Million Dollar Ideas You Have Never Heard Of" for 2010. Our long list of accolades also includes the 2010 Green Entrepreneur of the Year award from the USGEA-United States Global Entrepreneur Association and the 2009 California State Small Business Award, the 2008 California Governors Environmental and Economic Leadership Award and being listed as one of the "Top 10" green business ideas in the world by Springwise in 2007.

We've been green since before "GREEN" was the next revolution. We're also featured in over 60 National TV programs, 2,500 print articles, thousands of blogs a close to 1 million live web links. The best part is that we're still a small company looking to grow our Zero-Waste concept across America!

Our Story

The Rent-A-Green Box story began in 2005 when our founder, Spencer Brown, needed to pack and move his home office into office space located just 30 miles down the road. After spending over $800 on cardboard boxes and other moving supplies, he ended up at a local landfill forking over another $150 to dispose of these boxes (which were each used one time to facilitate his 30-mile move). Standing there in the landfill next to 40-foot-high towers of compressed cardboard, he was struck by the sheer insanity of the old wasteful and inefficient model of packing and moving. As he looked up at mountains of empty plastic detergent bottles Spencer had his first "AH-HA" moment: There must be a way to make a cool eco-friendly reusable moving box out of all this plastic trash.

Nine months and thousands of hours of research and development work later, Spencer brought to market the first Zero-Waste, Earth-Friendly, Cradle to Cradle, rentable, reusable "green" moving box in the world. He named this product The Recopack (Recycled Ecological Packing Solution) and gave birth to an entire industry.

A Superior Way to Pack and Move

Over the next half decade, Brown's brilliant and original product designs, determination and relentless marketing proved to the world that Detoxing Landfills to make fun, practical moving products just makes sense. With multiple Zero-Waste packing and moving products (the most in the world) Brown had his second "AH-HA" moment: He was making recycled plastic moving boxes for people who don't like moving. Recopacks come with comfortable handles, are stackable, crush-and dust-proof, water resistant, can be used hundreds of times and are just super cool. So cool that Rent-A-Green Box received an honorable mention for both product and service from the International Green Dot Awards in 2009. Renting a Recopack box is cheaper, faster and easier than using a new or used cardboard moving box and that's a fact!

Established Marketplace Credibility

Over the past eight years we have become experts in renting Recopacks to consumers, small businesses and corporations. We have created a legendary customer service program and mastered every aspect of media.

Rent-A-Green Box has been featured in five books, over 60 television programs and over 2,500 print articles. We have 920,000 web links pointing to our service and innovative social media programs that drive new customers to our unique service.

In short, we have proven that we are the best in the world at renting a box, period.

Huge Market Potential

With over 16% of the U.S. population packing and moving each year, Rent-A-Green Box has unlimited potential in the consumer, small business and commercial markets.

America has taken notice of our authentic and original green alternatives and our position as the leader of the entire green moving industry.

Consumers love that our service is cheaper, faster and more convenient than using new or used cardboard boxes. Let's face it, America's Going Green and we invite you to be part of the green revolution.
