Earth Day, beginning in 1970, has since become an annual date centered on all aspects of protecting, improving or preserving the Earth.

Along with always recycling the paper we shred, Gilmore Services is going a step further again this year and taking on Earth Day, Island Style.

Beginning as a family-owned moving company nearly 60 years ago, Gilmore Services has seen how some things change and some things stay the same.
