Moving involves a range of tasks, including organization, packing, hauling, and unpacking. However, even after settling in, managing the waste generated remains essential. Each year, over 8.4 million tons of moving-related trash are discarded, underscoring the need for proper disposal to prevent landfill overflow.
Fortunately, there are various ways to recycle, reuse, or upcycle these materials. Cardboard boxes, for instance, can serve as storage containers, be given away, or responsibly recycled. Alternatively, they can be transformed into useful or entertaining items such as cat scratching pads or grocery bag dispensers, effectively reducing waste and advocating sustainability.
