Whether you’re moving across town or just looking for smart ways to stay organized, we hope these blogs give you the guidance (and peace of mind) you’re looking for.

One of the easiest ways to make your move more eco-friendly is by cutting down on cardboard. Here are five simple ways to make your move greener without sacrificing convenience.

1. Use Reusable Moving Totes
Instead of buying a mountain of cardboard boxes you’ll toss after one use, rent reusable totes. Our rental totes are sturdy, weather-resistant, and stackable—making your move easier and more sustainable.

2. Skip the Tape
With traditional boxes, you burn through rolls of packing tape. Our totes come with attached lids, so there’s no need for tape at all. Less waste, less hassle.

3. Reuse What You Already Have
Pack items like suitcases, laundry baskets, and storage bins with lightweight items such as clothes, towels, or bedding. You’ll save space and reduce the need for extra containers.

4. Declutter Responsibly
Donate or recycle what you no longer need before you move. This reduces the load and keeps usable items out of landfills.

5. Choose a Green Moving Partner
At Tote With Us, we’re proud to offer an eco-conscious alternative to traditional moving supplies. Our totes are cleaned and reused after every rental, and at the end of their life, they’re recycled into new totes—minimizing waste every step of the way.
