Return moving company boxes for $1 rebate

Problem: UCSB often hires moving companies to shuttle your department across campus and they sell us boxes for $2 each. Even though they will buy them back for $1 each, many of them get thrown out or recycled.

Solution: Be sure to collect these branded boxes in central locations. Publicize their value.

Cost: Minor inconvenience and then it’s all savings!

Benefit: 20 boxes returned equal $20 dollars back. Spend the money on a pizza party to entice help for setting up your lab, office or home with all of the things that you used the boxes for in the first place.
