My partner and I are moving house over the next couple of weeks and want to get some cardboard boxes (preferably free ones) for moving things in. Any useful suggestions on where I can get them from?

Supermarkets are usually glad to get rid of them. Check with the store manager, and see if they'll let you go around back and check out their boxes. They usually crush them anyway for recycling.

Hi try your local co-op or small supermarket they usually have them in the back which tend to get sent to the recycling place but if you ask when the best time to come before they get taken they usually will let you have some or the local 7am till 11pm shop (convenience store) they might help you. Good Luck with your move and your hunt for cardboard boxes.

find an area with a bunch of stores, find out when there recycling day is, go early in the morning, before the recycling truck gets there, the boxes will already be broken down and easy to pick up

try the freecycle websites, they have ones all over, local to each area. You can post a wanted ad, for free, and you may get responses. Or try supermarkets, etc.

ask in any shop! make sure you dont get them too big though or once full you will struggle to lift them. better to do a few more trips back and forth that to injure your back and be of no use at all! my mum runs a post office and shes always trying to get rid of boxes
