Green Team
|
We’re proud to donate our services and partner with many charitable and socially conscious organizations who share our vision of keeping our planet pretty. We even assisted Global Green with their Pre-Oscar Party and have been working with the Hollywood Green Team that advises organizations on how to be greener. |
Environmental Domestic Recycling
|
NorthStar Moving formed a green partnership with E-Cycle Environmental, providing a bright green solution for households on the move. Electronic and large bulky items are often discarded during the moving process. E-Cycle Environmental ensures that these items are recycled domestically, under strict environmental laws, rather than being shipped off to unregulated third world countries to be processed by highly toxic and polluting techniques.
We even used E-Cycle Environmental ourselves to break down and recycle our oldest trucks. |
