Moving to Little Rock or anywhere else in the nation isn't the ideal eco-friendly task. It can create an immense amount of trash, not to mention the gas necessary to move from Point A to Point B. Of course, recyclable moving boxes are an option, but they barely put a dent in eco-friendly moving. As reported by The Atlantic, the average American moves up to 12 times throughout their lifetime, which has a negative impact on the environment.[1] With such statistics, how can we be more eco-friendly while moving? The Little Rock movers of All My Sons Moving & Storage go into detail about eco-friendly moving to Little Rock.
When it comes to eco-friendly moving, the first thing to do before packing is to donate any miscellaneous items you no longer need. Before moving to Little Rock, clean out closets, pantries, and check under the beds to find any random items that you won't need in Little Rock. Think of it this way: the more you need to pack, the more boxes you'll need. Once you've gathered all the miscellaneous items, visit local charities such as The Goodwill, Salvation Army, and Habitat for Humanity to give back to those in need.
Sure, you'll need to purchase some boxes for your upcoming move to Little Rock, but, you don't need to use ONLY boxes. Believe it or not, there are plenty of box alternatives laying around if you just look. Some of these alternatives include:
Suitcases
Reusable grocery bags
Plastic bins
Duffel bags
Dresser drawers
You can use creative packing methods to store many items with any of these substitutes. For example, line a trash bin with a fresh garbage bag to pack small items stored under your sink and cabinet.
If you don't have enough box substitutes, nor do you have the time to pack your valuables securely, our Little Rock packing services are a great option.
