A typical 3-bed move generates around 2.5 tonnes of CO₂ and 60kg of cardboard. Both numbers can be cut by half without paying more.
Use reusable plastic crates
Hire-only, returned at end of move. Often cheaper than buying cardboard if your move takes more than 3 days to pack.
Donate, don't bin
British Heart Foundation, Sue Ryder and Emmaus all collect furniture for free in Northants and surrounding counties.
Combine loads
If a friend is moving the opposite direction the same week, ask your removals firm about return-load discounts.
Skip the bubble wrap
Use towels, bedding and clothing as padding for fragiles. You're moving them anyway.
