July 11, 2012 - When planning to move into a new home, many tenants and homeowners may want to make green choices. There are numerous ways to reduce the impact moving has on the planet by making some simple adjustments to a moving plan.
Many people who are moving into a new house or apartment like to declutter and get rid of items they no longer have uses for. While many opt to donate these items to charity or hold a yard sale, unusable items are often thrown away instead of being recycled. Recycling old scrap metal from appliances that no longer work can help keep landfills free of these items.
One eco-friendly alternative to purchasing a surplus of
moving boxes is to visit a moving company that has a wider selection of shapes and sizes. After using them, be sure to recycle them or pass them on to a friend or family member who is also planning a move in the near future.
Most
moving services also offer trucks that are more fuel-efficient now, while movers may also offer to pack your items in plastic, reusable bins versus cardboard
moving boxes.
