Eco-Friendly Moving Tips for Edmonton Families
Moving often comes with a lot of waste—cardboard boxes, bubble wrap, and countless trips back and forth. The good news? With some planning, you can make your Edmonton move more eco-friendly without sacrificing convenience.
1. Use Reusable Containers
Instead of buying dozens of cardboard boxes, consider renting plastic moving bins or repurposing totes you already own.
2. Recycle and Donate Before Packing
Declutter responsibly by donating usable items to local charities and recycling what you can before the move.
3. Replace Bubble Wrap with Household Items
Blankets, towels, and clothing make great alternatives for wrapping fragile items while saving on packing supplies.
4. Hire Movers with Fuel-Efficient Trucks
Ask your moving company about eco-friendly practices, such as newer, fuel-efficient vehicles or consolidated trips.
5. Dispose Responsibly
Electronics, batteries, and hazardous materials should be disposed of at Edmonton’s Eco Stations rather than tossed in the trash.
By making a few thoughtful choices, you can reduce your environmental impact while still enjoying a smooth, stress-free move.
