Eco-friendly removals — without the greenwash.
Reusable plastic crates instead of cardboard, ULEZ-compliant vehicles, FSC-certified packing and paper tape, recycling and donation partners. Same standard of move, considerably less landfill.
A typical 3-bed house move generates around 60–80 cardboard cartons, several rolls of plastic tape, bubble wrap, void-fill, and the diesel cost of moving everything across the country. The default version of a removal is a one-day waste-generation event.
Eco-friendly removals are about taking the obvious wins — reusable crates, paper tape, FSC packing, ULEZ-compliant vans, donation and recycling routing for unwanted items — and applying them as standard, not as a £200-a-pop add-on.
What we do differently
- Reusable plastic moving crates (we collect after the move)
- FSC-certified cardboard where crates aren’t practical
- Paper tape (recyclable with the box) instead of plastic
- Reused blanket-wrap and void-fill — never single-use
- ULEZ-compliant vehicles for London moves
- Route optimisation to reduce empty miles
- Donation partner network for unwanted furniture
- WEEE-compliant disposal for unwanted electronics
- Tree-planting partnership on every move
On the truck: ULEZ-compliant fleet
Every vehicle we run is ULEZ-compliant for London. We are progressively adding electric Luton-class vans to the fleet for short-distance city work and route shorter loads to the lowest-emission vehicle that fits the volume.
Decluttering with a destination, not a skip
Most moves uncover things you don’t want to take with you. We route furniture in good condition to charity partners (British Heart Foundation, Emmaus, Crisis), electronics to WEEE-compliant recyclers, and only what genuinely can’t be reused goes to general waste.
How we run it
- 01Plan eco-spec
Crate count, packing materials, donation list — agreed up front.
- 02Pack with reusables
Plastic crates delivered the day before; pack overnight if you’d like.
- 03Move efficiently
ULEZ-compliant van, fewest miles, fullest loads.
- 04Recycle & rehome
Crates collected, donations dropped, recycling routed.
Frequently asked
- Are reusable crates more expensive than cardboard?
- Comparable, often cheaper for larger moves once you account for the cardboard waste, the time spent assembling boxes, and the post-move recycling. We hire crates by the week and collect them after.
- Is the whole fleet electric?
- Not yet — electric Luton-class vans are progressing onto the fleet for short London runs. The whole fleet is ULEZ-compliant. We’re honest about where we are rather than claiming carbon neutrality we haven’t earned.
- What do you do with stuff I don’t want to keep?
- Furniture in good condition is routed to charity partners. Electronics go to WEEE-compliant recyclers. We document where each item was donated or recycled — useful for ESG reporting on commercial moves.
