Staying Green When Your Melbourne Company Is Relocating

Relocating can be a difficult time for companies, and often environmental impact is the last thing your company will be thinking about. However, more and more companies are now trying to be sustainable, and so even when you are going through an upheaval, it’s important to stay green. There are a few steps you can take to ensure you stay environmentally friendly when you are moving, and here are some tips to make it easier.

Use a professional firm

Rather than driving back and forth between the old and new workplace, it’s much more environmentally friendly to do the move in one go. For example, if you’re moving to a new city and need removalists from Melbourne to Sydney, then the last thing you want is to have to drive back because the van you’ve hired is too small. Get professionals to give you an estimate, and they’ll be able to get the right sized vehicles to do the move in one run, saving fuel costs and reducing your carbon footprint.

Recycle

When you move offices or workplaces, it’s a good time to throw things out, but it’s important not to simply send everything to landfill. Using a removalist such as ABR Relocations means you can get many things recycled, without any extra inconvenience, and this could include:

• Office furniture – this can often be recycled or sold back into the second-hand marketplace.
• Paperwork – if you are going digital, old paperwork can be confidentially recycled
• IT equipment – don’t send old equipment to landfill, it can often be sent for recycling
• Shelving units and old cabinets
• Packaging left over at the end of your move
