Being Environmentally Conscious When Relocating

There is no doubt that moving to a new house is one of the most stressful things we can do.  Even if we feel we are organized, when it comes to moving day it can be extremely overwhelming.  So, at a time this, its unlikely that being environmentally conscious is top of our priority list.  What are some ways then, that we can prepare for the move in a responsible way?

Try to simplify as much as you can ahead of time.  Start going through things you haven’t used in over a year and determine if you will ever use them.  Place items in different piles, for example one for donating or giving away and another for a possible yard sale.  Try to recycle as much as you can and in this way, you will be reducing the amount put in the garbage.  If you leave these things till the day of the move, its much more likely you will end up just throwing them away.

Other items that are very bad for the environment when placed in the garbage are things like: chemicals, electronic equipment, batteries, paint cans, and light bulbs to name just a few.  Sort these out ahead of moving day so that they are disposed of in the correct manner.  If you are unsure of how to dispose of them, contact your local environmental agency who will let you know where to take them.
​
Its easy to see the benefits of sorting through your things ahead of time, not just for the environment but also to help you have a less stressful move.
