2 ways... move yourself and collect and dispose of the boxes yourself or pay a company and they bring and take them away.
if you use a company they provide boxes and wardrobe boxes that you move the stuff into and return, not cheap but is there a price on sanity when you move! (ive moved 22 times and im 37!)
Otherwise boxes from supermarkets that you need to get rid of (or sit in your garden for months after you spent months gathering them / not packing as you had no boxes)
The wardrobe boxes are worth every penny imho.

The fruit boxes used by all supermarkets are great for stacking, can`t fill them with too much heavy stuff, but for books, and stuff they`re ideal. Stack & unpack at your leisure, and they`re corrugated cardboard so can go in the`green` bin. Lidl and Aldi nearly always have them if you ask.0

If you have any friends who work in hospitals/nursing homes.
I'm always getting boxes for friends as we have so many to be disposed of at work, just be aware that you may be carrying boxes with "incontinence pads" printed on the side!:rotfl:0 -
Keep an eye out for neighbours moving into your street - they will often be pleased to be able to get rid of their boxes by passing them on to you!Grocery Challenge 2010:
