5 great ways to reduce your impact on the environment when moving

Pack smarter

All too often the NYC moving team will be transporting half-full boxes. Pack smarter: bulky items at the bottom and small lightweight objects at the top. Better packed boxes reduce the number you will need. See moving boxes.

Only use biodegradable packaging

Liffey will supply boxes and packing material, most of which can be recycled. If you choose your own, try reusable heavy-duty boxes and/or biodegradable material. Reusable boxes can go into storage or be donated.

Recycle when you can

Cardboard boxes and plastic are common leftovers. There are plenty of locations throughout New York where you can recycle these items.

Donate items

Donating clothes, furniture and other goods to charities and thrift stores reduces impact and provides for those in need. Or sell unused items on online platforms. See selling used furniture.

Hire professional movers

Instead of making numerous car runs, you can do one or two easy moves with us. Quicker moves ensure lights are out and appliances switched off. Call your provider to ensure utilities are switched off. Get a quote.
