Sustainable moving tips

Moving can be both exciting and stressful, but the sustainability team offers tips to make your move smoother and eco-friendly:

• Plan your move: Allocate time to organize your belongings before moving.

• Use recyclable boxes: Opt for free cardboard boxes from local grocery stores instead of buying expensive moving supplies.

• Recycle electronics responsibly: Recycle old electronics and other e-waste at designated drop-off locations.

• Give new life to unwanted items: Consider reselling, donating or giving away items to reduce waste

Local donation resources:

• Clothing items: Back Door Mission, Mission Thrift Store.
• Other household Items: Community Development Council Durham (Furniture Bank).
