Frequently Asked Questions About Moving in Arlington
Do you offer environmentally friendly moving options?
Yes! We understand Arlington residents' environmental consciousness and offer several eco-friendly options. Reusable plastic moving boxes eliminate cardboard waste and can be rented for your move. We coordinate donations to Arlington charitable organizations rather than disposing of usable items. All cardboard and packing materials are recycled appropriately. We plan efficient routes to minimize fuel consumption and maintain our trucks for optimal efficiency.
How do you handle moves near the Minuteman Bikeway?
We respect the bikeway as a crucial community resource and plan carefully for moves near or crossing it. We time truck positioning to minimize impact on bikeway users, never block the path, respect cyclists' right of way, and coordinate with Arlington Police when necessary for safe crossing. Our crews understand the bikeway's importance to Arlington and work respectfully around it.
Can you time our move around Arlington Public Schools' calendar?
Absolutely. We understand many Arlington moves center on school timing and work to accommodate these needs. Late August sees peak demand as families settle before school starts, so booking 4-6 weeks ahead is recommended. We coordinate timing to minimize educational disruption and work efficiently to get families settled quickly.
How do you handle bicycles and outdoor equipment common in Arlington homes?
Arlington households often include multiple bicycles, outdoor gear, and recreational equipment. We provide specialized handling - wrapping bikes in protective blankets, removing wheels when needed for space efficiency, packing cycling accessories carefully, and protecting bike racks and related equipment. We can also provide bike boxes for long-distance moves.
