BungoBox Opens its Doors and Reinvents the Moving Process
Orlando, Fla. – (January 5, 2010) – BungoBox, a company which rents reusable plastic boxes to save consumers time and money over traditional moving methods, recently opened in Casselberry and is now serving the entire Central Florida area.
The concept is simple. A BungoBox truck delivers the stackable moving boxes (a large box of about 2.5 cubic feet rents for $1.75 a week) to a customers’ doorstep. Once they’ve been unpacked, BungoBox picks them up at the new residence.
The startup company’s eco-friendly idea is proving to be popular in both the commercial and residential markets. “We are rethinking the traditional moving process,” says Bob Cannon, co-founder of BungoBox. “If you think about it, the way Americans moved hasn’t changed a whole lot in the past few hundred years. We toss out a lot of moving supplies, like bubble wrap, Styrofoam and, of course, cardboard. Let’s face it: Only about half of the cardboard that Americans discard actually gets recycled.”
All those supplies really add up. In fact, Americans spend approximately $10 billion on moving and packing services and products annually, according to the American Moving and Storage Association. “By using an alternative to cardboard boxes, we can help reduce the burden on consumers’ pocketbooks and reduce waste at the same time,” says Cannon. “It’s a win-win.”
Overall, the innovative company offers five unique products including:
BungoBox -- Stackable boxes (large or extra large) made of durable, recyclable plastic
BungoWrap -- 100 percent recycled, biodegradable paper for wrapping fragile items
BungoWardrobes -- Boxes with room to hang garments and keep them wrinkle-free
BungoWheels -- A custom-made dolly that makes transporting BungoBoxes easy
BungoZips -- Extra-strong zip tiesBungoLabels
“When you reuse cardboard boxes, they typically last for about four moves,” says Cannon. On the other hand, the stronger, more durable boxes that BungoBox rents can be reused several hundred times. After that, they are recycled and made into new boxes.
