Quick Answer

How much waste does renting moving bins save?

Each EazyCrate order of 50 bins replaces an estimated 60 single-use cardboard boxes that would otherwise be used once and discarded. Across 500+ NYC moves, EazyCrate has displaced an estimated 30,000+ cardboard boxes. Each bin is rated for 100 or more reuses, made from reusable, recyclable plastic, and sent to a commercial plastics recycling facility at end of life.

Why Reusable Wins

Reusable Bins vs. Cardboard Boxes: What the Data Shows

A single-use cardboard box is made, shipped, used once, and discarded — usually within a week. A reusable plastic bin is made once, cleaned between every move, and used 100 or more times before it is sent to a commercial plastics recycling facility. Research from ARECO (Association for the Reuse of Commercial Objects) found that the end-of-life carbon footprint of single-use cardboard is 94% higher than that of reusable plastic crates at 50+ uses.

Our Transparency Commitment

EazyCrate is not currently certified by a third-party sustainability program. We publish our actual impact data here so you can judge for yourself.

What we can tell you: our bins are made from reusable, recyclable plastic. Every bin is cleaned between uses. Retired bins are sent to a commercial plastics recycling facility. We do not have a certified carbon offset program, and we won’t claim one until we do.

We think that kind of honesty matters — especially when “eco-friendly” is used freely in moving marketing. If you have questions about our operations, contact us directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many cardboard boxes does EazyCrate replace per move? +
Based on the industry average of 60 cardboard boxes per household move, a typical EazyCrate order of 50 bins displaces roughly 60 boxes that would have been used once and discarded. Actual displacement depends on your order size.
What happens to EazyCrate bins after my move? +
We pick them up directly from your new address within your rental window. Every bin is then cleaned and sanitized before going out to the next customer. Nothing goes to landfill — bins are reused until they’ve reached their design lifespan, then sent to a commercial plastics recycling facility.
What are EazyCrate bins made from? +
Our bins are made from reusable, recyclable plastic. They’re designed for heavy, repeated use — not single-trip disposal. At the end of a bin’s service life, it is sent to a commercial plastics recycling facility.
How many times can a bin be reused? +
Each EazyCrate bin is rated for 100 or more uses. That means a single bin can replace 100+ sets of single-use cardboard boxes over its lifetime.
Is renting plastic bins actually better for the environment than cardboard? +
Research from ARECO found that reusable plastic crates have a significantly lower end-of-life carbon impact than single-use cardboard at 50+ uses — with cardboard’s end-of-life carbon footprint running 94% higher. The key variable is reuse rate. At 100+ uses per bin, the environmental math strongly favors reusable plastic.
Does EazyCrate have any environmental certifications? +
No. EazyCrate is not currently certified by a third-party sustainability program. Rather than claiming certifications we don’t hold, we publish our actual impact numbers here so customers can assess the environmental case for themselves.
How many NYC moves has EazyCrate served? +
EazyCrate has served 500+ NYC moves to date. Across those moves, we’ve completed 25,000+ bin-deliveries and estimate we’ve displaced 30,000+ single-use cardboard boxes based on the industry average of 60 boxes per household move.
What happens to a bin when it can’t be used anymore? +
When a bin reaches the end of its service life after 100+ uses, it is sent to a commercial plastics recycling facility. It does not go to landfill.
How does EazyCrate compare to other moving bin rental companies on sustainability? +
Most NYC moving bin rental companies don’t publish sustainability data at all. EazyCrate is among the first in the NYC market to publish specific impact figures — moves served, bins delivered, estimated boxes displaced, and reuse lifespan — rather than making generic eco-friendly claims.
Can I see the research behind the environmental claims on this page? +
Yes. The 94% end-of-life carbon figure comes from the ARECO (Association for the Reuse of Commercial Objects) lifecycle study comparing reusable plastic crates to single-use cardboard at 50+ reuses. The industry average of 60 cardboard boxes per household move is used to calculate our estimated displacement figures.
