Reduce household waste due to relocating
Millions of individuals relocate every year. And with these moves, households produce enormous amounts of household waste.
The Environmental Protection Agency is offering a few tips to movers in order to help reduce “move related household waste,” and make your next relocation greener.
MAKE YOUR NEXT MOVE ‘GREEN’
Here are a few ideas to make your next move a little more eco-friendly:
- Hold a yard sale. Better to sell the items and extend their useful life than dump them prematurely in a landfill.
- Reuse cardboard boxes. Typically they have more than one move in them.
- You have to move duffle bags and suitcases too, so you might as well fill them with clothes. Don’t move empty suitcases.
- If you still subscribe to the newspaper, use it to wrap items.
- Use environmentally preferable packing materials.
- Dispose of hazardous materials properly. Don’t just leave them behind in the garage for the next homeowner to deal with.
- If not everything sells in the yard sale (see item #1), then consider donating leftover items to charity.
