Clear the Clutter: Let the Professional Waste Removers Help
June 2, 2023Moving to a new home or apartment is exciting. But the part that is not so exciting is packing up your worldly possessions, loading them, and then transporting them to your new home.
Organizing a move means going through your belongings and rooting out those items that you no longer need. Whether they are broken (as in old appliances), they no longer fit (as in old clothes), or your kids have outgrown them (as in toys and clothes), there will be a pile of junk that you need to dispose of.
Once you have sorted through your stuff and you have separated the items that you wish to keep from those that you want to get rid of, you will be ready to start packing.
Moving home is very costly. There is the expense of hiring or buying boxes to pack your stuff into. Add to this the cost of truck hire if you are doing it yourself, or a removal company if you are outsourcing your move, it is important to move only those items that you still need.
Look at your move as being a great opportunity for you to declutter your home.
So make sure that you only pack and move those items that you are still using. It is worth your while financially therefore to get rid of those items that you no longer need.
Here are a few guidelines on how to make your pre-move house clearance a lot easier:
Decide what must go and what must stay
It is difficult to part with those possessions that you have had for a while. Sorting out what you want to keep and what you would like to sell or dispose of is one of the first steps to take before you start packing up for a move. Getting rid of this stuff will also cut your removal costs.
- As fashions come and go, you will no doubt have those old clothes in your possession that you do not wear any longer. Use the move as the ideal opportunity to throw out anything that you no longer use. Fortunately, there are always takers for unwanted clothes. If they are in good condition you can sell them online. If they are a bit more worn, charity shops readily accept donations of clothing to give to the less fortunate.
Used kiddies’ and baby clothes are in great demand. Often these are not worn too often and are still in excellent condition. These can readily be passed on to family, friends, and thrift shops, who will be grateful to put them to use.
A common way to sell those baby items that you no longer need such as prams, baby cots, and car seats, is online and will sell easily. These sorts of items are in great demand. - Children also outgrow toys. There is no reason to pack up their old toys that they no longer play with. Toys that are in good condition are sought after and will easily sell online. Otherwise, you could consider donating to a children’s home, a gesture that will bring smiles and many happy play hours to the children there.
- Magazines pile up and it is unlikely that you will read them again. Experts advise that if you have anything specific you need from them, scan or tear the page out and throw the rest away. Information is easily available online these days, so piles of magazines are redundant. Recycle any paper waste using your normal recycling systems. Any books that you no longer need can be sold at a second-hand bookshop or donated to your favorite charity.
- No house clearance is complete without doing a thorough cleanup of the kitchen. Old unused plastic containers occupy a great deal of space in kitchen cupboards and can be put aside for junk removal. Containers that have lost lids can be thrown away.
Old small kitchen appliances such as toasters and kettles that are broken, which have been stored with the view to repairing them one day, need to be disposed of. Be brutal, this is the opportunity to do a clean out of all excess items. This type of junk is easily recycled or donated to charities, and thrift shops.
Removal of Larger Junk Items
- Larger items like furniture or kitchen appliances that you would like to replace, are heavy and difficult to dispose of yourself. These will require a waste removal service. Choose a professional company so that you can be sure that they are recycled and not just dumped in the landfill where they will cause damage to the environment as they consist of many toxic elements.
If you intend to donate any old furniture such as an old couch, chairs, or your old fridge, there are always charities that will only be too happy to use them.
