Entries about portable storage
How can you pack your things into your moving storage container safely and securely while staying friendly to the environment? Moving boxes are the place where you can make the greatest impact on the environment. Rather than giving in to the temptation of convenience and buying a stack of new boxes from the moving company, check Freecycle, Craigslist, and other classifieds sections in your area for used boxes that people are giving away for free or for cheap. Even a small population center will have more boxes available than you will ever need, so place some calls, do a little extra driving, and stock up. The only boxes you will need to buy are specialty boxes like picture boxes and glassware boxes. (Please note that this is not advised in areas that have problems with bedbug infestations or that have a lot of cockroaches.
