Donate unwanted food items.<\/h2>\n

Finishing the ice cream before you shut off your fridge sounds like fun. However, there are many pantry items, such as canned goods and other unopened non-perishables, that can be donated instead of thrown out. Donating these items gives your fridge and pantry a fresh start in your new home. NorthStar Moving\u00ae is happy to work with Move For Hunger<\/a> to donate unopened food items to local food banks. Our movers can leave you a box for your unwanted food items or we can pack them up for you. This small step helps to make moving green easier as you join in the fight against hunger.<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t part with it?\u00a0\u00a0Store It!<\/a><\/h2>\n

When packing up, you may find items you won\u2019t immediately need or don\u2019t have a place for in your new home. Instead of moving the extra weight, lighten your load by storing your unused items. Full-service NorthStar Moving\u00ae can help you both move and store your items. NorthStar Moving\u00ae<\/a> not only makes green moving easier, but its storage is green too. Their state-of-the-art storage warehouse practices eco-friendly land use and doesn’t waste space on hallways and driveways. Movers wrap, protect, box, pack, carry, lift, inventory, drive and move your belongings into storage until you are ready for them. You\u2019ll be pleased to learn that storage rates are often more affordable than self-storage facilities, as you are only charged for the space you use. Storing your belongings saves space.<\/p>\n

Fresh green beginnings.<\/h2>\n

Most people don\u2019t realize that moving can have an impact on our environment. In reality, moving day is a great time to go green. It’s the best way to start off your new life in your new home. Just remember, as you prepare for your move and the trash bins begin to overflow, double-check for items to recycle or donate.
