Minimizing waste during a move not only helps the environment but can also make your moving process more efficient and possibly cheaper. Here are some practical tips on how to reduce waste when packing your belongings:

• Declutter Before You Pack: Begin by sorting through your items and deciding what you really need to take with you. Selling, donating, or recycling things you no longer use reduces the amount of goods you’ll need to pack and helps avoid unnecessary waste.
• Use What You Have: Before buying new packing materials, use what you already have. Items like towels, blankets, and clothes can serve as excellent padding for fragile items. Suitcases, bins, and baskets can be used as packing containers.
• Choose Sustainable Packing Materials: If you need to purchase packing supplies, opt for sustainable options. Look for biodegradable, recycled, or recyclable packing materials such as paper tape instead of plastic tape and corrugated cardboard boxes over plastic bins.
• Rent Reusable Boxes: Some companies offer plastic moving boxes for rent. These boxes are sturdy, reusable, and can be a more eco-friendly option than buying new cardboard boxes.
• Be Efficient with Packing: Use space wisely to reduce the number of boxes and packing materials needed. For instance, nest smaller items inside larger ones and fill empty spaces in boxes with soft items to prevent movement and damage without needing bubble wrap.
• Recycle and Dispose of Wisely: After the move, properly dispose of any packing materials you can’t reuse. Cardboard boxes can be flattened and recycled, and any plastic wrapping that can’t be avoided should be taken to a recycling center that accepts soft plastics.
• Share or Donate Unused Supplies: If you have leftover supplies, consider offering them to someone else who is moving or donate them to a local charity. This way, the materials get a second life instead of ending up in the trash.
