Eco-friendly Side Hustle | Year-Round Profits
Did you know that the eco-friendly industry is projected to reach over $1 trillion by 2027? This reason’s enough to start an eco-friendly side hustle over any others! More and more people are learning about the impact of traditional products and services on the environment and looking to switch.
Eco-friendly cleaning services, upcycling furniture, or niche thrift stores are all great ideas but don’t really guarantee consistent profit. As a seasoned side hustler, I understand how important it is to generate consistent revenue.
I’ve got an idea for you, that’s tried and tested and works for every market: renting out moving boxes. Around 110 million metric tons of cardboard get tossed into the trash every year in the US, with only 38% being recycled.
It’s a massive amount of waste, and where your eco-friendly side hustle can make a real impact. Start with minimal capital, build your marketing and referral system, and create income while making a difference—a true win-win!
Can Moving Box Rentals Really Compete with Cardboard Boxes?
Hey… it’s a fair question! One cardboard box costs about the same as renting a reusable moving tote for 2 weeks. It’s also a great incentive to unpack and settle in faster, rather than keeping everything in boxes for weeks.
Here’s the deal, though—while cardboard is cheap, it’s also weak and wasteful. It tears easily, breaks down in the rain, and generates tons of paper waste each year. Moving box rentals, on the other hand, offer a sturdier, eco-friendly option that can be reused hundreds of times.
Yes, educating your customers will be a big part of your business strategy, but that’s where you can really shine!
Now you might think – where do you even start? It sounds like a complicated side hustle.
Honestly, it’s only as complicated as you make it. You can learn through trial and error or work with a coach who’s already helped others build successful eco-friendly side hustles.

Before We Talk….
We've got a few short questions for you, so that you can get Pre-Qualified which will take you 2 minutes. If it all works out, then you can book a Clarity Call with our Team!
You'll Find Most Answers Here
U-Haul is all about DIY. Carrie shows students how to provide a full service to their clients where they deliver and pick up the totes. This makes you stand out against U-Haul, and therefore they don’t even compare to your full service company. They have not affected Carrie’s sales whatsoever.
Carrie teaches students how to service local customers only. There are other companies that will offer cross country moves. We keep our business model simple and only look at customers that are within about an hour’s drive max from us. But you get to decide how many miles you want to travel.
You can also offer pickup and drop off only, where customers come to your house rather than you do deliveries. You get to make all decisions here and Carrie will walk you through all of the pros and cons.
You will always have the freebie seekers that want free cardboard boxes. The ones that will always look for the cheapest way to do things and will take any free cardboard they can get from people.
These are not your people!
For the others who are used to paying for cardboard, your pricing will be similar to this option. And once they see the convenience that your reusable moving boxes offers, it will be a no brainer to make the switch.
No more assembly, and no more tape!
You deliver and pick up – no more hassle during such a stressful time for your clients.
You will be loved and cherished! Trust us! Just wait for the love you and smiles you will receive. Nothing but happy customers.
We recommend that you start with 200 totes which will cost you around $3-4k to start.
When you join the course, you will get access to Carrie’s preferred supplier and will receive a discount!
Your job is to find 1-2 customers per week, which is 4-8 customers a month.
If you can do this, you will be sold out!
Each customer will pay approximately $100 – $500 monthly, so you are capable of making $500 – $2000 monthly when you are sold out.
If you want to make more than that, buy more than 200 totes to start!
You won’t find “Moving Box Rental Communities” on Facebook. They don’t exist! By joining our course, you will get a community of women to bounce ideas off of, as well as Carrie who has been in the Rental Industry since 2007. She shares what to do, and definitely what NOT to do!
You can also be a part of an exclusive community that meets MONTHLY with previous students, so you can grow and learn from each other while you all independently grow your businesses.
The unique thing is that none of us are competition for each other! Carrie will not accept people into the program if they are a direct competitor to another previous student. You can borrow ideas from other previous students and all work together to help each other succeed. That is extremely unique!
You will be able to learn from other students while you watch Carrie coach other women in the same meeting as you.
Other students will offer lots of feedback and ideas that you might not of thought of. You can bounce ideas off of everyone in the group.
You can even share your ideas and images in the private Student Facebook group and have everyone vote to help you make decisions!
