Storage Options

Over the years, you and your family have likely kept many belongings that are no longer used. This isn't a big deal when they're out of sight, tucked away in your garage or closet, but it can become a real headache when it's time to move.

All families will need to dispose of unwanted items during their move to make the process easier. However, this can sound easier than what it actually is. Disposing of things can be a real challenge, but this blog will help give you guidance on how to accomplish it.

Make an Inventory List

The first step when it comes to item disposal is making an inventory list of all your items. This will help you visualize and organize what you have exactly. Once that list is made, you can easily identify what items need to stay, and what items need to go.

Create Three Separate Groups of Items

It doesn't have to be as cut and dry as getting rid of something or keeping it. Having this mindset can make things much more challenging. When you're just starting out, create three groupings:

  • Keep: This grouping is for items that you have no question about. Once placed here, you know for certain that they'll be moving with you.
  • Discard: This grouping is for items that you very obviously don't need and may not have used or worn in years.
  • Second Consideration: Many items will fall into this pile. If you're on the fence about whether or not you need to keep it, place it here for now and come back to it later.

Find Places to Dispose of Items

Once you've gone through all your items and you're ready to get rid of them, it's time to find a place to bring it all. If your items have a high value, consider organizing a yard or garage sale to sell them. You could also post them to online marketplaces.

If your items are low value but would still be useful for someone, consider bringing them to a thrift store. These locations typically take bulk donations. If you have items that are worthless, our local movers can provide you with on-site, residential junk removal.
