An Eco-Friendly Moving Company

At Spine Moving, we believe owning and operating a small business comes with the responsibility to do right by our coworkers, our customers, our neighbors, and our environment. Like most business, the work we do has both positive and negative impacts in our community. We provide an honest service at a fair price that our fellow community members need, and we do it with consistently great results. But we also operate heavy-duty trucks that contribute to pollution and climate change.

Absent policy changes to help us collectively address climate change, we’re left to do all we can to reduce and/or offset our own emissions, reuse as much as possible, and recycle when reuse is no longer feasible.

Thankfully, our transportation future is looking brighter, thanks in large part to stunning advancements in battery and electric vehicle technology. Over the next 5 years, Spine Moving plans to be at the forefront of the movement to electrify medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. (The transportation sector accounts for almost 30% of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, the single largest source of emissions.) We’ve installed a 40KW rooftop solar array on our geothermal heated and cooled warehouse, making it a carbon-neutral building, and we’ll be purchasing our first fully-electric truck when they become commercially available, most likely in 2022.

Just like any good community member, we take our commitment to maximizing the good we do and minimizing the suffering we cause very seriously. That’s why we’ll continue to look for ways to cut our emissions, reduce our use of materials and resources, and recycle everything we can. And we’re looking forward to a day, hopefully not too far in the future, when every business is green because it’s the smartest and most affordable way to solve our problems today, and for many more tomorrows.

How Are We Taking An Initiative to Go Green?

We believe owning and running a business brings with it the responsibility to do right by our coworkers, our customers, our neighbors and the environment.

Locally Sourced Products

We purchase locally sourced products and services whenever possible to support our local economy and reduce the climate impacts of shipping.

Recycled Content

We purchase moving boxes and packing supplies with significant recycled content, and we re-use paper and corrugated boxes multiple times before sending them to be recycled.

Minimal Garbage

We use rubber bands to secure moving pads instead of tape, re-use boxes multiple times, and recycle all of our scrap cardboard.

100% Pure Biodiesel

We’ve got degrees in Criminal Justice and Music and History. We’re massage therapists and comic book makers and math whizzes. We might even bore you with arcane facts about little-known or long-forgotten Civil War Generals.

We’re movers by chance but also by choice. We love the physical challenge, the team work, the righteous feeling of a tired body at the end of a hard day’s work. We love that each day is different, love seeing fast progress in our work, love the simple pleasure of carrying out every task, no matter how small, with skill and care.

Maybe most importantly, we love meeting new people, setting them at ease, and making a small but important difference in their lives during a stressful time. And, of course, we love all the thanks and appreciation we get. (After all, we’re only human!)

Tags For Miles Program

Our Tags for Miles program gives customers the chance to reduce the environmental impact of their move by purchasing carbon offsets, called Oneota Tags, through the Winneshiek Energy District in northeastern Iowa. By helping fund home energy efficiency projects, you can offset the carbon emissions from your move partially or entirely. And we’ll match your offsets one-for-one, so your move could end up being climate positive!
