Moving Day: What to Do With Everything You Are Not Taking
Moving is the best time to let go of what you no longer need. Here is how to sort it, schedule it and get it out of the way.
Every move has the same problem: a pile of things that are not worth packing. Sort them early and moving day gets a lot easier.
Sort into three piles
- Keep: what comes to the new place.
- Donate: furniture and household items in good shape.
- Remove: broken, worn out or unusable things.
Do it before the boxes come out
It is much easier to see what you have before everything is packed. Start with the garage, basement and storage areas, since they hold the most.
Plan the pickup around your move date
Book junk removal for the day before or the day after your move, depending on whether you need the space cleared first. Leave a clear path for the crew.
Need help moving the rest?
If you have a few big pieces to take to your new place, local moving and hauling can handle those too, with upfront pricing.
