Q: How can you reduce packaging waste?

• <div><p>One of the best ways to reduce packaging waste is to purchase materials that are made using recycled materials. While these don&rsquo;t eliminate waste, they do help provide uses for old packaging materials and prevent the need to collect more raw ingredients for continued manufacturing. Recycling those same products helps complete the cycle and reduces the need for new materials in the supply chain. You can also upcycle some packing materials, like cardboard and plastic, for use in crafts and organizational tools.</p></div>

Q: Why is it called a 20-yard dumpster?

Q: What types of trucks or containers are available?

• <div><p>Small vans, box trucks, and portable storage containers are options. Choose based on the size and type of move.</p></div>
