Go Green: Elephant Trunk Moving Supplies Provides a Reusable Alternative to Moving Boxes
The concept really is brilliant. Elephant Trunk Moving Supplies rents out reusable plastic moving boxes for two weeks at a time. Simply go to their website to order a one-, two-, up to a five-bedroom package of reusable plastic boxes. Usually, John Hancock himself will deliver the stacks of nested boxes and labels to your door within most cities in the Metroplex. They also rent out all the other stuff you’d need for moving like dollies, hand trucks, blankets, and packing paper.
Elephant Trunk Enlightenment
I’m in the van a lot, most often by myself, and besides lip synching to lonesome-themed songs I think some. And what I’m thinking about lately is how our customers are enlightened, but not only to the extent that they are aware of a concept of which not so many are aware - that of using reusable boxes and products to move - but also of their load.
Packing & Moving is a Family Affair
Moving is never easy, but making it a team effort helps quite a bit! One of our favorite anecdotes from a customer was that they had their Elephant Trunk moving crates delivered and their teenage daughter grabbed a box and started packing without even being asked! Imagine, that could be your experience!

Tips for Getting Family Motivated to Pack
Make it a game! Who can pack the most drawers in the kitchen the fastest?
Set time frames - we’ll pack for this one song, then dance party during the next! Pack boxes for 30 minutes, play a game for 15 minutes!
Find a fun audiobook or podcast that the whole family wants to listen to and ONLY listen to it while packing! Or individual audiobooks/podcasts specifically listened to while packing
Plan something fun for after - a special meal out, go see a movie, go window shop for furniture for the new place!
There is no perfect science, but find what motivates your family and find ways to spend quality time together during it! Moving is stressful for everyone involved, kids included. Possibly changing schools, having to make new friends, learn a new house, so the motivation to pack up and head into that great unknown can be difficult. Make it fun, make it exciting, use it as an opportunity to make memories!
And with Elephant Trunk moving bins, you don’t have to worry about assembly, going to pick up boxes and tape, or disposing of the boxes after the move is done! Your family can easily grab the boxes, pack them, and close them up themselves!
As a family-owned and operated business, who better to get advice from on working together as a family!?
