1st of the Month? Make a GREEN Move!

Seeing a lot of furniture and used junk on the sidewalk? Must be moving day in your neighborhood! With a little extra pre-planning and the right resources, you can make moving a green experience. Go through your closet, your desk, your entire apartment- decide what you absolutely need and recycle the rest! Recycling can take the form of reselling on Craigslist or eBay. Donations to Goodwill and Salvation Army are perfect examples of re-use. Find electronics and battery recycling centers near you through Earth911.org.

We've moved 3 times in the last 3 years and have become experts at selling all our stuff online. If we find that we need a certain item again after we've moved (like a desk or some chairs) we cruise Craigslist for cheap or free deals. When we move again and can't fit them in our car, we put them back into the cycle and sell or give away!
