Disposing of packing peanuts after a move

Disposing of packing peanuts after a move

Del Mar Heights may have been your home, but now you have decided to move somewhere else.  Perhaps it was due to work, family needs, or just because you wanted to go elsewhere.  Since you have moved, there will be many things to take care of.  Most often when we finish a long distance move it means that we have plenty of boxes, packing peanuts, and much more to get rid of.  If the moving company you used decided to pack with peanuts, you have to consider what to do with your polystyrene peanuts.  They can be harmful to the environment if you just throw them away, so what can you do to make certain that you dispose of them now that your long distance move is over?

You could put them in your potted plants.  The Styrofoam helps the drainage of your plants, allowing your plants to grow healthier without too many issues.  You might want to put them inside pillows that have zippers.  Packing peanuts can be comfortable to use in a pillow since they will make it fluffier, especially if you have pets and wish to fluff up their pet beds.

Additionally, when you use a moving company that decides to pack with peanuts, you can ask them to take their packing materials back.  If you have yet to move from Del Mar Heights you might ask your company to leave off from using packing peanuts and use something better for the environment for packing materials instead.
