EmptyBox Global

Our vision is a global community-run organization with a diverse and dedicated staff providing a free and convenient service that is good for the users, the hosts, and the planet.

Welcome! I’m so glad you found us.

EmptyBox is a non-profit aimed at reducing the strain of the carboard box industry on our global resources by facilitating the ease of reuse through community reuse stations and peer to peer connections over a mobile and web application.

We'd like to see reuse stations as ubiquitous as recycle bins, and if none are close, a quick and convenient way to let people who need boxes know you have some available for pick up.

Our process is to have a centrally located reuse station paid for by donors or the host where the community can drop off or pick up used boxes to ship, move, or store.

Where locations are not available, users may post a picture and description of the boxes they have to dispose of and users looking for boxes can connect with them to arrange pick up. Posted boxes will be displayed on a map along with the radius of how far they are willing to travel to meet the recipient.
