Lile’s Green Moving Commitment

We understand the impact we can have on the environment and the need to protect it through sustainable practices. Lile is committed to developing and implementing sustainable procedures and operational practices within our organization. We make every effort to promote sustainability within our offices. As well as encouraging our Green Moving Commitment within our local communities. We have researched the cost-saving benefits of “Green” procedures on both a short-term and long-term basis. Lile has found that our efforts in purchasing recycled materials, waste prevention, and energy reduction save money for both the customer and our company.

For Office & Business Moves:

We offer E-Crates (Environment Crates), an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional boxes. E-Crates are durable plastic containers that are stackable and feature an integrated dolly system. Using E-crates* provides 27%-40% labor savings due to time efficiencies. E-crates are up to 33% larger than most corrugated boxes. We are reducing the number of boxes required and decreasing environmental waste. Lile also has partnered with American Electronics Recycling to provide customers with options for recycling unused equipment. Lile International offers free used boxes to our interstate move customers. All moves are eligible to participate in our Electronics Recycling Program. We donate unwanted household goods through our partnership with Donor’s Resource. This local, woman-owned non-profit organization connects people with unwanted items with non-profit organizations that need them.
