Go Green: Elephant Trunk Moving Supplies ...

The concept really is brilliant. Elephant Trunk Moving Supplies rents out reusable plastic moving boxes for two weeks at a time. Simply go to their website to order a one-, two-, up to a five-bedroom package of reusable plastic boxes. Usually, John Hancock himself will deliver the stacks of nested boxes and labels to your door within most cities in the Metroplex. They also rent out all the other stuff you’d need for moving like dollies, hand trucks, blankets, and packing paper.

Holiday Decluttering Made Easy with Eco-Friendly Moving Supplies

As the holidays approach, many of us feel inspired to declutter and organize—whether it’s to make room for holiday guests or prepare for a move. Moving during the holiday season can be overwhelming, but it also offers a perfect opportunity to make sustainable choices. At Elephant Trunk Moving Supplies, we’re here to help you declutter thoughtfully and make your move environmentally friendly. Let’s dive into ways to create a greener, organized move that leaves you feeling refreshed for the New Year. 

1. Sort and Declutter with Purpose

Before packing, take the time to thoughtfully go through your belongings. Moving fewer items means a lighter load, lower moving costs, and a simpler unpacking process.

  • Go Room by Room: Take it step-by-step, decluttering one room at a time to keep things manageable.

  • Make Three Piles: Organize items into “keep,” “donate,” and “discard” piles to avoid taking unnecessary items.

Being mindful with this process not only makes moving easier but also helps reduce the number of boxes needed—saving both time and resources.

2. Choose Reusable Plastic Moving Boxes

One of the easiest ways to ensure an eco-friendly move is by using reusable plastic moving boxes. Cardboard boxes often end up in landfills, while plastic boxes can be used hundreds of times.

  • Eco-Friendly and Durable: Elephant Trunk’s plastic boxes reduce waste and are designed for safe, stackable transport.

  • Delivery and Pickup Service: Save time with delivery to your home and pickup from your new location, letting you focus on the move itself.

Using reusable boxes reduces waste while making packing and unpacking far easier. 

3. Reduce Holiday Clutter and Simplify Your Packing

Holiday decluttering is also an opportunity to refresh your space. Consider donating gently used items, and pack only what you’ll truly need in your new home.

  • Donate Holiday Items: If you have extra decorations or seasonal items you no longer use, donate them to brighten someone else’s holiday.

  • Pack Decorations Separately: Keep seasonal items in a dedicated box for easy unpacking.

Taking a minimalist approach not only supports a sustainable move but also saves you from the hassle of packing unnecessary items.

4. Optimize Your Packing with Smart Moving Supplies

Packing mindfully can prevent excess waste. Elephant Trunk offers eco-friendly moving supplies to help you pack smarter and reduce your environmental footprint.

  • Use Bubble Wrap Alternatives: For fragile items, consider biodegradable packing materials or items like towels for extra padding.

  • Label Boxes Clearly: Mark plastic moving boxes by room or category to make unpacking more organized, reducing the temptation to purchase extra storage materials.

Being prepared with the right supplies makes a big difference, ensuring a smooth, organized move with minimal waste.

5. Reflect on Your Sustainable Moving Choices

Taking a sustainable approach to moving not only benefits the environment but also brings a sense of accomplishment. Celebrate your eco-friendly move by treating yourself to a warm holiday meal or cozy evening in your new space.

  • Enjoy a Clutter-Free New Start: With fewer items and a more organized space, enjoy the ease of settling into a clutter-free home.

  • Share the Green Moving Message: Inspire friends and family to adopt sustainable moving practices by sharing your eco-friendly approach.
