About Evergreen Crates
Making moves easier, and kinder to the planet
Hire strong, reusable plastic moving crates, delivered to your door. The clean, green alternative to cardboard boxes.
Who are Evergreen Crates?
Evergreen Cratesstarted with a simple frustration: moving house means buying stacks of flimsy cardboard boxes, rolls of tape and bubble wrap, using them once, then breaking them down and lugging them to the recycling. It's wasteful, it's a faff, and the boxes never seem strong enough.
So we did what a growing number of movers across the country are already doing: we swapped cardboard for strong, reusable plastic crates. We deliver them clean to your door with a dolly, you pack at your pace, and we collect them when you're done. No tape, no waste, no trips to the shop.
Based in Sudbury, we're proud to serve homes and businesses right across Suffolk and north Essex, from Colchester, Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, Braintree to the villages in between. Whether you're moving a studio flat, a family home or an entire office, we make it simpler.
And it doesn't stop on moving day. Need to put things away for a while? You pack your crates, and we collect them and carry them straight into your self-storage unit or container, whether you're downsizing, between homes, renovating or just making space. Same careful, all-in local service.
Local & personal
We're based right here in Sudbury. When you book, you're dealing with a local team who deliver and collect themselves, not a faceless national chain.
Genuinely greener
Every crate is reused many times over, replacing mountains of single-use cardboard. Choosing crate hire is a small, easy way to move more sustainably.
Honest, simple pricing
One flat price for your home size, with the dolly and delivery thrown in. No per-crate maths, no VAT to add, no surprise charges.
Reliable service
On-time delivery and collection, clean sanitised crates, and a team that actually answers the phone. Moving is stressful enough.
Clearing a whole home too? Meet our sister company

They carry out full and part house clearances, probate and bereavement clearances, and rubbish removal right across Suffolk and north Essex, licensed, insured and always respectful.
