Hello everyone,

I’m moving in a couple weeks (within Haarlem) and have hired movers. They’re taking care of permits for the parking when moving out (in the centrum), but the new address doesn’t have such street restrictions. They said I should save 2 parking spaces in front of the building. There are 2 (and only 2) street spots indicated for parking near the building entrance, but they’re always full. I’ve never seen either of them without a car, day or night, and I’m in the area regularly. Basically I don’t think there’s going to be any way for me to actually reserve those spots on the day they’re needed.

Given that, will it be an issue to park the moving van on the street outside the building entrance while they unload? It’s a 2 lane road, and not very busy, so cars will be able to go around it. Still, I’d like to ensure this all goes as smoothly and properly as possible

Thanks in advance for any insights

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
