FrogBox, Boise

FrogBox’s recycled-plastic moving boxes and recycled paper make moves from pad to pad easier as well as eco-friendly. Dispatched via phone call, online order, or telepathic distress signal, box-delivery drivers journey to the customer’s soon-to-be-vacated home brandishing a requested cache of basic green boxes, wardrobe boxes, furniture dollies, and recycled packing paper. At the move’s end, the driver picks up the plastic totes from the new abode and rushes them back to headquarters, where they are washed with an eco-friendly cleaner and prepped for a future move. FrogBox further fortifies the earth by donating 1% of its gross revenue to frog-habitat restoration, and drivers pilot biodiesel-powered trucks where available. The moving company has gained the attention of outside forces such as Small Business BC, who awarded FrogBox the 2011 Best Green Business Award, and Mother Nature, who regularly sends thank-you cards made from moss.
