Making Your Move GREEN!

Sep10

Hate the cost and waste of using cardboard boxes for your move? Plus the hassle of putting them all together and then having to break them down? Well, there is now a great alternative popping up all over the country.  The companies deliver strong plastic boxes for you to fill. Then you or your moving company pick them up and move them to your new home. When you order them, you determine how long you will need them to complete your packing, move and unpacking. Then the company picks them up.

This helps the environment by minimizing the number of cardboard boxes you throw away. Many people don’t realize that cardboard is not environmentally friendly and typically have some type of chemical compound to retard bugs, termites, etc. It is a ‘wood’ product with the same challenges so using these boxes helps minimize chemicals in the landfill.Why Rent Our Boxes?

I know what you’re thinking….but those boxes are ‘plastic’! Yes, they are BUT they are re-used for years. The company that was brought to my attention in Denver has been using some of their boxes for more than 10 years. Less waste, more environmentally friendly AND an easier, more organized move for you!

Some facts from Denversmovingboxes.com:

Over the course of just one year Denver’s Moving Boxes’ customers will have a direct impact in saving:

  • 816 trees
  • 3792 gallons of oil
  • 336,000 gallons of water
  • 2 million kilowatts of energy
  • 2880 gallons of air pollution
  • 144 cubic yards of landfill

If you’re doing a short move, you can minimize your cost by moving the boxes yourself in small trips and reusing them multiple times.

This is an alternative if you are planning on packing up your home yourself and then moving it all. These companies do not pack…just provide the boxes AND the packing paper and labels for the boxes to make your move in as easy as your move out!!

This is not something I’ve found available everywhere but do a simple search online of “Green moving boxes” (refers to the environment not necessarily the color of the boxes) with your city and hopefully you’ll find this great option available to you!
