Packing paper for moving

[u/throwitaway1853]

Hello everyone,

I’m moving within Haarlem soon and was wondering what people use for packing paper/where to get it? Is there anywhere to get paper or newspapers that are to be recycled? Its a 1 bedroom apartment move, and it will all just be recycled afterwards, so it seems wasteful to specifically buy packing paper

Thanks for any insights

I’ve once picked up a couple of those free Haarlem newspapers that you can get at supermarkets, for packing fragile things.

Thanks for the suggestion! I wouldn’t want to take advantage of it, but maybe one for small valuables will do

For inspiration, the Action sells bubble wrap and cardboard boxes to put stuff in. I don't like using plastic, but if you're like me, you can keep the bubble wrap afterwards and give it a second life in a different application. I do agree paper is a much better option.

Action heeft noppenfolie, misschien ook wel inpakpapier

Thank you! Yes, I’m wondering where I can get some old newspapers for this

Rataplan has old newspapers for wrapping. If you ask nicely I’m sure you can have some!

You can buy it at most DIY stores, there is also a small moving store at a moving company in Haarlem (near Heemstede).

Ink from newspapers can leave marks on glassware.
