Eco-Friendly Moving

Moving to Kansas City or anywhere else in the country isn't really an environmental-friendly task. It can create a copious amount of trash with wasted material and gas needed to move from Point A to Point B. Sure, you can use recyclable moving boxes, but they hardly put a dent in eco-friendly moving. According to The Atlantic, the average American moves up to 12 times throughout their lifetime, which can have a negative impact on the environment.[1] So, how can we be eco-friendlier while moving? The Kansas City movers of All My Sons Moving & Storage have the 411 on better eco-friendly moving.

Give Back to the Community

When it comes to eco-friendly moving, the first thing you must do before packing is to donate whatever you no longer want. Before moving to Kansas City, clear out closets, pantries, and check under the beds to find any random items that no longer serve you. Think of it this way: the more items to pack for your upcoming move, the more boxes you'll need. Once you've gathered all your miscellaneous items, visit major charity branches such as The Goodwill, Salvation Army, and Habitat for Humanity to give back to those who live in the community.

Substitutes for Boxes

Of course, you'll need to purchase some boxes for your upcoming move to Kansas City, however, you don't need to use ONLY boxes. Believe it or not, there are plenty of box alternatives at your disposal that you can use to pack your belongings. Some of these alternatives include:

- Suitcases- Reusable grocery bags- Plastic bins- Duffel bags- Dresser drawers

There are various methods you can use to store many items in one bag or container. For example, line your bathroom trash bin with a fresh garbage bag to pack items stored under your sink.
