How to Be Kind to The Environment While You Move

There are little things we can do to be kinder to the environment while we move. All My Sons Moving and Storage of Austin suggests, for example, using boxes that were already in use. You can go to your local supermarket to get boxes or maybe ask around your friends and colleagues if they have any boxes laying around the house. Also, your office might have boxes that are headed for the dumpster. In re-using these boxes, you’ll be recycling. Also, instead of throwing away any furniture, clothing or china, give them away to charity and let someone else enjoy them. Many towns also have recycling centers that you can give stuff away too. All My Sons of Austin also suggests being conscious of space when you are packing. The tighter your things fit in a box, the more secure they are and the less boxes you’ll need to use. If you need to wrap delicate belongings like glasses and fine china, do so with newspaper or better yet use your own clothes, towels and sheets to wrap and secure your stuff. Moving can create a lot of waste if we are not careful but by using these tips you’ll help the environment and still have a safe and stress-free move.

Saving Tips While Moving

Moving to a new location doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg. There are ways for you to save money throughout the entire moving process. The first thing you can do is let your cable company, internet and phone provider know that you will be moving on a certain date and that you won’t be needing their services from that day on. This way you won’t be paying for services you are never going to use. Also you can cut other services in advance like electricity, water and anything else that can fall into this category.
All My Sons Moving and Storage of Austin also suggests packing things yourself to save more money. Some moving companies, like ours, offer this service but at an extra charge, so if you want to spend the last money possible on a move, pack things yourself. And to make it easier on yourself, make sure that what you do want to pack are things tat you use. If there are a lot of items around your house that are old, broken, or you simply have no need for, either give them away to charity, or hold a garage sale and try to sell them. That’ll definitely put more money in your pocket.
