The other reason why moving house in Germany can be expensive is that getting free cardboard boxes is virtually impossible. One cannot just go to a local supermarket or newsagent to inquire about discarded boxes. Everything in Germany is being recycled – a cardboard box that once held cans of pet food or washing powder is invariably coming with a recycling plant before you have an opportunity to ask. Most German removal firms offer therefore green, recyclable boxes either for sale or hire – in a high price.
