BoxCycle- Matches up buyers and sellers of used cardboard boxes

Boxcycle attempts to solve 2 problems- buying boxes is expensive, and businesses have tons of old boxes that they have to pay to recycle. It's an online matchup service that lets businesses sell their old boxes to those who need them. "BoxCycle, a San Francisco-based startup launching this week, is looking to help connect the two parties by giving businesses a simple way to sell their boxes to anyone who will take them. To begin selling, businesses first establish their hours of availability, and then input how many boxes of each size they have from a list of predetermined choices (all prices are fixed and depend on box size)...(there’s a $5 penalty if you miss your appointment)."

founder yeah, in fact the author of this article says something similar, he points out that there's no way to give your boxes away for free, even if the site charges the buyer, which I think would be useful if you just want someone to haul away your boxes. [QUOTE]
