Relocating to Oklahoma City or anywhere else in the nation isn't the eco-friendliest practice. Moving can create a heap of trash with wasted material and emissions from relocating between Point A and Point B. Of course, there are recyclable moving boxes to use, however, it only scratches the surface on green moving. The average American tends to move around 12 times throughout their life, [1] which further contributes to harming the environment. Therefore, we must ask ourselves: what choices can I make in the moving process to reduce the negative impact on the environment? Our Oklahoma City movers can help by showing you how to achieve a green move to Oklahoma City.
In some cases, you might still have to use packing boxes for your upcoming move. However, if you are committed to a green move to Oklahoma City, try to find other options to limit how much you need to dispose of after the move. If you just look around, you may have packing box alternatives around the house. You can use:
Suitcases
Storage bins
Vacuum-sealed bags
Duffel bags
Trash bins
Hampers or laundry baskets
Dresser drawers
It's up to you to decide how you'll pack using the above options, you just have to get creative. For example, when packing clothes in suitcases, leave them on the hangers to save you the extra work of putting them away after moving into the new home.
If you don't have the time to get creative on packing options, you can always book our Oklahoma City packing services as as well.
