Using reusable containers
Moving will require some boxes but you can cut down on the amount of cardboard boxes used by using reusable plastic storage bins and suitcases you already have to pack some of your belongings. When you move locally, we provide wardrobe boxes to move your clothing from the wardrobe closet.
Using shipping boxes received
Online shopping has become a standard part of modern life. If you have a move coming up, be sure to start saving some of the boxes you receive with your online orders. A great way to store them would be to break them down and store them out of sight until it is time to use them.
Get used boxes
Neighborhood community groups in social media or Apps like Next door are great sources to get used boxes. Be sure to check/ post to see if anyone has used boxes you could pick up.
Be creative
Creative use of simple household items such as towels, linens, comforters, clothing and even newspaper can be used as packing material. When packing fragile items such as glassware, china etc, towels and newspaper can be used to fill empty spaces in the boxes.
Donate unwanted items
A move is a perfect time to purge and get rid of unwanted items. Having less will help make your move simple and streamlined. For items that can be sold, consider yard sale. You can also consider donating items that dont sell to a local charity. This will ensure that any unwanted items get a second life and reduce their chance of ending up in a landfill.
Hire a green moving company
Using an environmentally conscious mover is one of the best ways to make a smaller environmental impact with your move. At One Move we are committed to eco-friendly practices.
Recycling after
Recycling boxes after the move is just as important. After your move, be sure to see if any of your friends or neighbors need moving boxes by offering them up in social media group or Nextdoor. Be sure to check with local schools or libraries since they might need boxes.
The Choice Of Your Moving Company Is Very Important
Some companies don’t pay much attention to the environment. But some do. So, make sure that you choose an Eco-friendly moving company. And ask them what steps are they taking to make the move greener. As more and more consumers like you take interest in greener moving options, you are taking a step in the right direction in reducing the environmental footprint.
There are many green moving tips that both you and your moving company can employ. So, make sure that the company does its part.

Huge shoutout to Sergio, Josue, Guillermo, Meli, and Francisco at One Move Moving Company! From the very beginning, Sergio was incredibly upfront, honest, and transparent about the entire process. No surprises, no runaround, just great communication and professionalism. The entire crew did an amazing job and truly went above and beyond to make our move as smooth and stress-free as possible. Everyone was hardworking, careful, efficient, and genuinely great to work with. You could tell they really cared about doing the job right. I honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience. Moving is never fun, but Sergio and his team made it so much easier. Couldn’t recommend these guys more highly. Thank you all again for everything!Posted on Yelp![]()

Mely,Domingo, and Cesar worked hard for six hours, helped w some packing, unpacked and set up my bed and placed my bedroom boxes and bags in the bedroom, and most kitchen boxes in the kitchen, which helped with unpacking. There wasn't enough room in the kitchen so they set up items in the living room while leaving me a path to walk to and through the apartment. They paid attention to details which helped with the move. It was the first time I hired movers; they were professional and kind. They helped make the move less stressful and possible. Grateful!Posted on Yelp![]()

We hired One Move Movers to bring our storeroom contents to our new condo. The office staff was helpful setting up the appointment and with reminders. Their estimate of time and effort was spot-on, and the move went very well. They were careful with our belongings and helped us stage our boxes and belongings in our unit as they unloaded the trucks. We would definitely hire them again.Posted on Google![]()

We used One Move movers for my daughter’s local move. They were great to work with from start to finish. Easy clear estimate. Excellent follow up. Flexible scheduling. The moving crew that came (shout out to Domingo and the team!) was professional, easy to work with and meticulous in their care of her belongings. They worked quickly and efficiently. Highly recommend!!Posted on Google![]()

We moved from one home to another just two days ago. I cannot say enough good things about Sergio and his team of 3 other guys. Throughout the day he set expectations appropriately regarding time and fees. But more than that they did everything to protect all of our furniture and belongings as well as the wood floor in our new location. They were friendly and helpful and even gave a few ideas when asked. It was a 12-hour day and toward the end of the day, I wanted to move a couple of heavy pieces when I did not like the initial placement. They were so kind and willing even though they must have been exhausted. Highly highly recommend!Posted on Google![]()

Why can't all businesses operate as well as this one.... I'm an SF Realtor, and have used, and have referred clients to One Move Movers for years. Kobi (the founder) and his Operational Team; Dia, Fran and Ray are all exceptional and never miss a beat. They really understand the many intricicies of moving and make the process both organized and smooth. Having worked with at least a dozen other moving companies over the years, Kobi's Team is the best I've encountered. This would include many moving companies like Shamrock that charge a good deal more. I have to add, I was just overseeing a clients move, who was out of the country, and was lucky enough to have Domingo and his Team do the physical part of the move. My client had nearly 50 pieces of art, and lots of furniture that needed to be broken done and set up. These guy were super organized, efficient and carefully/ skillfully handled all of the items. Thank you Kobi & Team! I remain your biggest fan.Posted on Google![]()
