Red Crates for Moving Green

People move on average every five years. If you are on a tight budget for moving expenses or are a single person with one-bedroom furnishings, then it's highly probable you'll do your own packing. Even if your office moves from one building to another or moving around within the office, the packaging adds up! Imagine all those boxes, bubble wrap and moving wrapping paper filling up landfills?

Companies, such as Arthur Werner, specialize in recycled moving boxes that have a lifespan of 100 movings. Their boxes are sturdier than regular cardboard boxes and when you finish, moving, Arthur Werner cleans and reconverts them again for durable moving boxes. So they are not immediately recycled into trash, but recycled several times for MOVING! What a concept!

Here are a few more green moving companies:

Don’t forget that you don’t have to use boxes to move all of your belongings. Try to move dressers and desks with their contents still in them if possible in order to reduce moving waste. Several movers will offer these types of services, just be sure to ask about them!
