Movers Not Shakers

It’s that time of the year again: summer is when the largest percentage of renters face their leases’ end and must choose whether to resign or ship out. We’re always giving our readers transformative design tips to make their space feel like home, but even we admit that sometimes there’s just no substitute for a location change. Today, we’re passing on some great (and green!) info for those of you who are movin’ on out and movin’ on up!

Movers Not Shakers, located right in Brooklyn, NY, is an amazing local resource specializing in environmentally-friendly moving.   Their philosophy combines a standard of service with a carbon consciousness.  Plus the majority of their movers are seasoned employees and have been with the company since its start, so you can entrust them with that heirloom antique china!

To maintain an environmentally friendly approach, Movers Not Shakers invented the GothamBox, a hard plastic box that snaps closed and is available for rent in a couple different sizes for less than the cost of a cardboard box ($2.00 Small and $3.00 Large). The GothamBox eliminates the waste (and mess!) of the dozens of cardboard boxes that typically litter one’s apartment post-move.  Plus, you’ll save a small fortune on packing tape!  Movers Not Shakers even drops off and picks up the boxes, making moving that much less of a stress!
