The Importance of Recycling

When you are moving from one residence to another, often extra trash is accumulated. Typically, this stems from downsizing or even just realizing that you’ve been collecting unnecessary junk. Getting rid of things you don’t use is a smart move and reducing waste is important.

If you run into old clothes, furniture, or food that you don’t plan on using, instead of tossing them consider recycling objects by bringing them to old thrift stores, donating to people in need, or even advertising them as an upcycling project on Etsy or Craigslist.

It’s also very important to break down boxes. Most households require an average of 60 boxes per move! While giving them away to friends or other movers is helpful, sometimes getting rid of them is a necessity. If this is the case, be sure to properly break them down and put them in the recycling.

Of course, donating and recycling are a huge part of everyday life, but, when you choose to move, the best choice you can make is using an eco-friendly moving company which is out to protect our delicate eco-system.
