Remain Eco-Friendly By Renting Our Eco–Crammers!

Eco-Crammer Rental Process
The Green Truck Movers loves helping you make your move with efficiency, ease, and environmentally friendly materials. Did you know that we offer reusable, rent-able moving containers as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional boxes? These containers, called Eco-Crammers, come in small, medium, and large sizes.
All you need to do is give us a call to place your order, and we will deliver your Eco-Crammers at the time you request. You have the choice of packing yourself or scheduling packing services with our moving specialists. When you are ready, The Green Truck movers will come to your home or business and move your containers and belongings. Upon completing your move and unpacking, we will return to pick up your containers. What could be easier?

Eco–Crammers are far superior to boxes because they:
  • Are less wasteful than boxes
  • Are easier to use
  • Eliminate clutter.
  • Eliminate the need for dumpster diving
  • Are securely stackable
  • Are very durable

Helpful tips for packing your Eco-Crammers include: always pack heavier items in smaller boxes, do not over-pack boxes, pack similar items together, label boxes by room, and always label fragile boxes.
Remember, The Green Truck Movers includes complimentary with every move: furniture breakdowns (beds, dressers, etc.), furniture securely wrapped with furniture pads, and upon unloading, all rooms rearranged. We provide free estimates too! To order and schedule your move with The Green Truck Movers and Eco-Crammers, click here or call (615) 241-5977 to place your order. Your containers will be delivered at the requested time.

Pre-Move Donations Guide

One of the most well known tenets of green living is these 3 basic principles: reduce,reuse, recycle. In preparing for your move with Green Truck Movers, sifting through the massive inventory of items we all seem to accumulate for items you would like to donate is a wonderful way to put those principles into action - not to mention that it make a dramatic difference in lightening your moving load!

There are so many worthy organizations that in need of donations, but sometimes it can be difficult to know where best to donate your goods.  That’s why we have prepared a list of nationwide donation centers that will happily accept your used items. Happy donating!

Donation Guide

  1. Linens - Many animal shelters are in desperate need of soft blankets, towels, and linens that they can use in their animal cages. Contact your local shelter or veterinarian to discover the best places for your linen donations.  

  2. Car - Perhaps you’re moving soon and don’t want to trek your clunky car across the country. Instead of getting a few bucks on Craigslist, why not donate it to a worthy organization? Big Brothers Big Sisters’ Cars for Kids’ Sake (bbbs.org) will happily take your clunker. They will pick up your car for you, resell it, and use the proceeds to benefit the Big Brothers Big Sisters programs in your community. They even take old construction and farming equipment. Habitat for Humanity and the American Diabetes Association also accept vehicle donations.

  3. Professional Attire - Dress for Success  is a non-profit organization that collects professional attire for men and women in need.  If you have any business suits, professional apparel, footwear, or accessories consider donating to this worthy cause. Visit https://nashville.dressforsuccess.org/get-involved/donate/ for more information.

  4. Electronics - The United States Environmental Protection Agency has a tool that shows you exactly where to donate your specific electronic item. Just be sure to delete any personal information before you donate. Visit http://www.epa.gov/osw/conserve/materials/ecycling/donate.htm
  5. General Goods - Most everyone is aware of the Goodwills and Thriftsmarts widely available throughout Middle Tennessee for general goods donations, like clothing, electronics, appliances, furniture, books, and more. Many communities have other thrift stores and periodic donations events - particularly local ministries.  If you’re unsure about a particular item, pick up the phone and call for specifics about what is accepted before wasting a trip.

Remember, make sure everything you give away is in good working condition. If the items you’re donating are in poor, non-functioning condition, the charity has to burn its resources in finding ways to deal with or dispose of them.
