The Green Truck Movers situated in Nashville, Tennessee is committed to building stronger communities through Eco-friendly efforts as well as public service. Since opening in April 2010 The Green Truck Movers has planted over 5000 trees locally and in third world countries. This commitment is accomplished through our partnerships with Trees for the Future and The Tennessee Environmental Council. Each month The Green Truck Movers Nashville visits at least one elementary school within the Metropolitan area, to do a local ceremony of planting trees. During this event we educate elementary kids, grade 1 – 4, about the benefits of planting trees and living Eco-friendly lifestyles.
With every move, The Green Truck Movers is planting two trees as the benefits of planting trees on our environment and the future is that:
- Trees mark the four seasons of Earth.
- Trees supply oxygen to our planet. In one years’ time an acre of mature trees can provide enough oxygen for 18 people.
- Some trees can provide food to humans as well as birds and wildlife. An apple tree can produce as much as 15-20 bushels of fruit per year.
- Trees clean the air we breathe.
- Trees absorb odors and gases.
- Trees provide wood.
- Trees help prevent soil erosion.
- Trees conserve energy.
- Trees combat the greenhouse effect.

The "How to Pack for a Move Checklist" available to Nashville residents, will help with the preparing for any home move in Tennessee.
- Gather all packing supplies required - bubble wraps,
newspapers, scissors, heavy duty packaging tape (not duct tape), marking pens, padding
supplies and moving boxes of different sizes.
- Wrap each item individually with enough layers of bubble
wrap or newspaper.
- Pack heavier items on the bottom and lighter items
on the top, inside the boxes.
- Pack heavy items such as books in a small box and
don’t over pack the boxes. The maximum weight should be 50 lbs.
- Use newspaper/ linen/ pillow cases to fill empty
spaces inside the boxes.
- Pack everything that belongs in a particular room
together.
- Start packing one room at a time, packing smaller
items first, to get them out of the way.
- Tape and mark each box clearly with the room, items
and if it is breakable or not.
- Keep all extension cords and adapters in one box.
- Place all screws/ bolts back into an item – where
possible - after it has been taken apart. Alternatively, place it in clearly marked
Ziploc bags, according to contents and room, and place the Ziploc bags with all
used hardware in one box.
- Take a photo of how your electronics are connected
to assist with setting up.
- Cover the openings of your toiletries with saran
wrap, and then put the tops back on. Pack it into separate plastic bags for
double protection against leakage.
- Pack plates vertically, like records, as it will be
less likely to break with any impact.
- Pack a box labeled as an "Open First" box,
with items which you have been using until the date of the move.
- If you do hire movers, be sure to read the fine
print and make sure you learn about their moving and packing instructions and
conditions.

move.
