Cardboard boxes for moving

Hi,


Does anyone of any shops that still give you boxes that they are throwing out?


I know these used to be easy to get but I'm not sure if that is still the case.


If not is there anywhere I could get boxes for free(!!)?


Thanks,

    Also, call Asda? Their George for Asda clothing boxes are seriously robust & again, free. You just have to get there to collect them.

    my local co op shop save some boxes for me. They normally get returned to the depot so I have to ask the day before a delivery when I want some.
  • Whenever I need boxes I go to the local Tesco later at night when they're stacking the shelves. Staff are normally happy to give away the boxes they're unpacking :) saves them flatting them all and taking them wherever they go from there
