5 Green Tips For An Environmentally Friendly Move

It's no wonder that in an increasingly environmentally sensitive world people are

looking at every aspect of their daily lives to reduce their impact on the environment.

So it makes sense to look at some eco-friendly tips we can follow when moving house. After all , moving house requires a lot of packing boxes and storage containers, so why not try to find some green alternatives?

Before you start packing, one of the first things you can look at is eliminating the number of items you have to move. Why not take the opportunity of eliminating all useless items from your inventory by giving them away to charity or disposing of them at a garage sale. After all, the less you have to move, the less packaging you will need. You can even give unwanted books to the local library.

If you have sufficient time to plan your move you can start accumulating used cardboard boxes and bubble wrap and other useful packaging materials like old padded envelopes. Many removalist companies will still reusable cardboard boxes which are still strong enough to use. Eliminating the need to purchase new materials will not only have a major impact on your budget would also lessen the impact on the environment as well. By not having to drive your car around to various shops to pick up new packaging material you also use less petrol for an added environmental benefit.There are other packaging materials you can take advantage of too like 'green' moving boxes which are made from recycled materials like plastic bottles. You can rent or purchase these at minimal expense. Some firms even offer a drop-off and pickup service.

What about using plastic crates? These are available for hire from large hire companies and are suitable for moving large quantities of small items that can be packed into the boot of your car or even on the back seat.

When it comes to cleaning up after your move, don't forget to look for eco-friendly cleaning supplies. If you are using a cleaning company to do the job for you, request that they use only environmentally friendly products like biodegradable and non-toxic cleaners.

Look for a moving company that uses bio diesel trucks. After all, one large truck is going to be more environmentally friendly than two small trucks.

Of course, taking a green approach to moving house does not have to end after the move is over. Having taken so many steps to implement a green move, it is an ideal time to review your whole living environment. Why not take up the opportunity and continue to use recyclable packing boxes, or start to eliminate hazardous materials from around your house.

Keep your eco friendly storage containers and make your green move the first step towards a more environmentally friendly lifestyle.
