Relocating can for sure be stressful, hectic, and – wasteful. We can waste lots of packing paper, cardboard, bubble wrap, and other items that you need to throw away eventually. If you really care about the environment and want to minimize the impact your junk has on it, you might be interested in a more eco-friendly version of relocation. It is possible to move your home (or move your business), and stay environmentally aware. Here are some key steps to take to do so.
Purge Your Junk
Have you already found out you are quite a hoarder? Even though you might think you haven’t accumulated a lot of unnecessary items in your home, when you start relocating, you will see the reasons to believe otherwise. That’s why the big purge is the way to go! Get rid of all the things you know you don’t need. Anything you forgot about existing, or haven’t used for more than a year, needs to go.
Rent Moving Boxes & Use Home “Packing Material”
Cardboard is very wasteful, and we all know that. It’s light but quite easy to destroy, and we can accumulate a lot of it. On the other hand, plastic boxes, even though they are plastic, are reusable and very practical. You can find out how to rent reusable plastic boxes and crates from the pro moving company you hire. Also, to avoid buying packing materials that are highly wasteful, use your clothes, blankets, towels, or even some old newspapers you have, for padding and protection.
Donating & Selling Are Way to Go
If you accumulated lots of items that are still in a good state, but you don’t need them, there is someone who might be happy about getting them. Organize a garage sale or donate your goods. You can easily google some organizations that can take furniture, appliances, or even clothes, and use them well.
