Recycle boxes
Seems as if most people have performed this year’s shopping online. Christmas and birthday gifts for yourself and other people show up on your doorstep, and it is wonderful - until you open all of them up and have a heap of cartons 6 feet high to contend with.
Usually, you'd recycle those cartons and obtain your moving cardboard boxes from your local big box store or perhaps your professional moving company in El Paso, but if you are moving over the holidays then you can certainly re-purpose the cardboard boxes as moving boxes to not only save cash, but to reduce your carbon footprint!
Keep close track of the weather
Weather conditions can be very fickle over the holiday season, wherever you call home. You'll want to watch the weather channel as best you are able to, to plan appropriately for significant weather like snow, blowing wind, or lightning storms which make it hard for even professional moving companies in El Paso to accomplish their job well.
Give away mildly used items to decrease the quantity of items you must move
Generally, we urge people to pare down the amount of items they must move before it's time to go not only to save cash, but to streamline the moving process. Garage sales as well as estate sales are routine when the occupants are moving, but opting to donate your gently used furniture (or smaller things such as garments) that you no longer need or are not taking with you is an excellent option to embrace the Holiday spirit and bless someone in need. A lot of donation centers encourage donations usually around the holiday season; search for one locally!
Combine your holiday greeting card with your life update
A lot of families send Christmas cards to friends and family to wish them a Merry Christmas and update them on what is taking place in their lives. Undoubtedly, a change of residence shall be contained in that update! Nevertheless, many believe that a reference to the move may be sufficient, and decide to send out an independent update of address alert to those who have to have it. For anyone who is moving any other time of year that system is successful, nevertheless you can kill two birds with one stone if you are moving over the holidays. Add your change of address announcement inside your holiday card (or within the same envelope if you wish to have them at least slightly separate) to lower postage and time.
Engage a Professional Moving Company Now
Professional movers do take the opportunity to allow their employees vacation time around the holidays, so they can spend time with their own families and get some well-deserved downtime. As a result, moving companies can be thinly staffed throughout the holidays and may have less availabilities for moving jobs. At the time you pick a date for your move, reserve your moving company in El Paso ASAP to allow them to make sure to staff your move enough beforehand.
