For the love of portable storage
If you already went green by canceling paper deliveries and reading the paper online, run your junk mail through the shredder instead. Depending on the make of your moving storage container and how full you packed it, you might need to tie your boxes down with rope. Used rope is yet another packing material you might be able to pick up from people who just finished moving. If used rope isn't available, buy rope made of natural fibers, like hemp or cotton, or a recyclable form of synthetic rope like nylon. Packing your moving storage container in an environmentally friendly way takes a little more care and consciousness than the old traditional method of using new boxes and packing peanuts.
