When you are ready, The Green Truck movers will come to your home or business and move your containers and belongings.

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.


When it’s time to relocate your Middle Tennessee home or office, the Green Truck Movers are the your eco-friendly, whole move professionals! The Green Truck has been relocating families and businesses since 2010. We are committed to building stronger communities through our eco-friendly efforts and public service.

How to Move Green




At Green Truck movers of Nashville, Tn., all of our trucks run on biodiesel.  By definition, biodiesel refers to a vegetable oil (or animal fat-based) fuel meant for standard diesel engines.  Exhaust emissions from biodiesel fuels are significantly reduced compared to regular diesel.

To put it short, if you’re looking to make an environmentally conscious move, we’re the company for you.   

But if you’re still looking for other ways to save mother nature while you traverse your family from one end of our beautiful earth to the other, here are a few tips on how to keep your move clean from Green Truck Movers.

1.     Save or scrap the cardboard.    The average move uses a half-ton tree’s worth of cardboard boxes.  If you’re considering a move, try re using a friend’s old cardboard boxes, or opt for another type of storage container, such as plastic bins.  Most moving companies offer rentable plastic bins, or there are a number of online sites where they can be purchased or rented.
2.     Toss out the gnarly safety packaging.  Bubble wrap, foam wrap and Styrofoam packing buffers are all harmful to the environment, but green alternatives exist!  Consider trying green packing peanuts and bio plastics, so when you toss all the extra packaging out after the move, your trash doesn’t sit in the ground for millennia.
3.     Use what you’ve got.  Clothing, towels and bedding make great wrapping options for fragile items and often work better than any dispensable packaging.
4.     Donate.  The more stuff you move, the more your moving truck will weigh, and the more fuel it will take.  Consider donating items sitting in your current crawlspace instead of moving them to your crawlspace in your new home. 
5.     Make your new home greener than your last!  Replace old lights with fluorescent lights, seal up air leaks for better insulation, use power strips to quickly turn off many appliances when not in use.  And recycle… don’t just throw it away.

At any rate, if you’re in need of reliable movers to help move furniture out of your old home to your new stomping grounds, we hope you’ll consider Green Truck Moving Company.  Our affordable moving rates and excellent customer service, plus our biodiesel fuels are useful for corporate moves or for home moves.  Contact us today!

Family Move




You just got a new job and you’re relocating your family to Memphis.  You’ve been in the same home for 10 years, but after moving almost yearly for most of your kids early lives, your wife and kids are happy for the change.

The move is happening over the summer and you still have a three month window of freedom between finishing up your old job and starting your new one, so you decide to try and pack/move on your own.  After all, you’re home in Nashville is fairly modest compared to earlier spaces you and your family lived in when you were in your later 20’s, and you moved your family then.

A month into trying to get everything packed, shipped and trucked, you realize you’re in over your head.  The idea of wrapping all of the furniture alone stresses you out, not to mention packing all of your possessions into boxes and figuring the most economical way to fit it all into the smallest possible moving truck to drive across the state.  You go online to find movers who will also keep the space and supply usage to a minimum, while still doing a quality job of getting your stuff form point A to point B and stumble upon GreenTruck Movers of Tennessee.


Also, if you’re looking to hire green movers with an interest in the environment, all of Green Truck Mover’s vehicles are gasefficient trucks.  Our trucks run on biodiesel, a vegetable based environmentally friendly combustible that doesn’t put excess carbon into the atmosphere.

If you’re looking to move and are interested in finding a company with a great deal and an interest in the environment, visit our Website.  Green Truck Movers can’t wait to help you get to your new home!

Tips for Job Relocating




According to Forbes.com, every year 1/10 Americans move.  Oftentimes, these moves are job related.  For this reason, Green Truck Movers of Nashville, Tennessee, the specialist in clean energy moving, thought we’d give you four quick tips on how to have a great job relocation.

1.     Learn your company’s relocation services.  Most companies that require you to relocate offer assistance including payment for house search trips, transporting your cars, and even help placing your spouse in a job in the new city.
2.     Explore the new area before moving.  Make sure you check out the neighborhoods in your new home in person, to find an area that best suits your family’s needs.  If you can’t visit, check out websites on the area, talk to current neighbors who used to live in your future home, or have people put you in touch with current residents to get a sense of the culture.
3.     Check if you can write it off.  Oftentimes, people who relocate for work are eligible for partial reimbursement come tax time. 
4.     Know the cost of living.  The cost of living varies greatly between different cities, even within the continental U.S.  Always make sure the difference in cost of living is being compensated for in your salary.

While Green Truck Movers can’t help with every aspect of your move, we’ve got getting your possessions from point A to point B covered.  We’re an affordable moving company that specializes in long distance moving, storage moving, corporatemoving, and residential moving.  Our competitive moving company prices and our professional movers use green, ecofriendly, gas efficient trucks that use biodiesel.  Biodiesel vehicles run on varying organic oil compounds and don’t release carbon into the environment when combusting.
