Moving House? Use a Waste Removal Company to Make Your Move Easier

Anything that can help make a house move simpler should be considered when you are planning this huge task. We all know what a stressful time this can be as you need to make difficult decisions quickly to ensure a smooth relocation. It takes some months of careful planning, especially if you have to sell your old house before you can take occupation of your new one. If you are moving between rented accommodation you still have to make sure that the apartment you are vacating is left in ship shape condition so that you do not incur any expenses from your landlord and you are able to get your deposit back. 

Before any move can take place, it makes sense to have a big clearing out of your possessions in order to get rid of all of those things that may have been cluttering up your space for years. This is the perfect time to make those decisions to throw the things away that you no longer use in order to make a fresh start in your new home. It also makes no sense to pack up and pay for those things that you no longer use to be moved, so be ruthless with items that you haven’t used for some time and get rid of the clutter. This will help cut down on your moving costs as you will have less to move. 

Tips for Planning: What to Do with Your Unwanted Household Items

One of the important things to do before a move is to decide what to keep and what to get rid of – some of these decisions are easier to make if the item is broken, out of date or just something you don’t even use any more. But it is more difficult if it is something you are emotionally attached to even though it is no longer of any use. So making these decisions about your belongings can be very stressful – in fact almost as stressful as the move itself!

1. Sort through your belongings

   Begin by sorting out the obvious items that you will not be needing any longer. We all have that place where we put things to get them out of the way so that we are not confronted by them every day. It can help if you organise them into 3 piles for Selling, Donating, or Trashing.

2. Take on one room at a time

   If you pack up what you are taking with you at the same time as deciding what to discard will give you a sense of achievement and help you keep up as you go through each room. 

3. What to do with these items

   Many of the items you no longer wish to keep can be sold online or given away to your local thrift shop. Any items intended to be removed by a rubbish removal company such as Little Green Junk can be put aside.

4. The “To Sell” items

   You will be pleasantly surprised that you can make a good profit by selling items that you no longer want but that are still in good condition. Sell them on eBay or Facebook Marketing by advertising them with a good description and a few photos. Make it a condition that the purchaser has to fetch the item themselves so that you are not liable for any delivery costs.
   Some items to consider selling on are kids’ clothing and toys that they no longer use. Most of the tiny baby clothes will be in perfect condition as these clothes are not worn very often before baby grows out of them. Toys are another popular item to sell on to other parents. New toys are expensive so there are many moms on the lookout for those toys that your child may have outgrown. Baby items like strollers, car seats, baby room furniture and anything else that you no longer need for your kids are easy to sell too.

5. The “Donate” or “Recycle” items

   Local charities are only too pleased to accept any goods like old clothing, children’s clothing that they may have grown out of, any old kitchen ware – in fact any of your unwanted cast offs may be someone else’s treasure.

6. The “Trash” items

   These will be the items that are no longer usable, and could even consist of broken old appliances, or old mattresses – in fact anything that is damaged, expired, or too stained and moldy to even consider selling or donating. Little Green Junk can remove these items for you and will ensure that their different components are recycled where possible, and not just dumped into the landfill.

7. Keep your electronic waste separate

   If you have electronics like laptops, monitors, TV’s, or anything else that you no longer need, dispose of them properly through a professional rubbish removal company who will ensure that they are either repaired and recycled, so that their components will be recycled and reused responsibly. This is essential to protect our environment from the many hazardous metals and chemicals that these products emit if they are discarded haphazardly in the landfill.
