Taking care to make your home removal eco-friendly is quite easy and has the added advantage of saving on costs.

According to professional removalists that we spoke to, not all removalists are into saving the earth’s resources, but that doesn’t matter; you can do your part and feel satisfied that every small bit helps.

Here’s how: –

• Save on packaging materials of both paper and plastics by using your soft towels, hand towels, tea towels, jumpers and other smaller clothing items to wrap breakables in and to wedge between items in the boxes.
• Use blankets, doonas and larger towels on the bottom of the boxes and to wrap around mirrors and wall art, or that glass tabletop.
