Decluttering Before the Big Move

Moving into a new home is exciting and daunting. There’s a lot to plan and do, especially if you’re moving to another city. This is the perfect opportunity to get rid of all the junk you’ve accumulated over the years.

Reasons to Clear Out Before the Move

Clearing out before you move makes sense. It will reduce the cost of transport and the stress when unpacking on the other side. It also means there is less to pack, so you’ll save on packing materials and the problem of discarding the packaging.

Decluttering the Easy Way

As you plan your move, you must decide whether you’ll need a San Jose dumpster or a junk removal service. A move is a perfect time to get ruthless when clearing out. In choosing what should stay and what should go, ask yourself when last you used the item and whether you would buy it again. Consider the item's practicality and the cost of moving the goods to your new home. Will the item match the decor, and will you have space for it?

Once you’ve sorted all your goods, you’ll have to decide what to do with the items. Some of them may be worth selling, and you can use the proceeds toward the costs of the move. You could sell the items online or hold a garage sale.

There may be items like clothing, books and appliances that you can donate to a worthy charity. After selling and donating good items, you will still have things to discard.

A San Jose dumpster is a convenient option as it will be there waiting to accept the junk as you declutter. When the dumpster is full, call for a collection, and we’ll take it all away.
