Start Early and Plan Ahead

Moving is stressful enough on its own, not to mention sorting through all the belongings you’ve accumulated over the years. If you’ve moved before, you’ll know that the importance of tackling junk removal ahead of time can’t be understated. Your moving day will be here before you know it, and the last thing you need to worry about is last-minute cleaning and decluttering. So, we recommend setting aside dedicated time each day or week to tackle different areas of your home. Starting early allows you to approach organization and junk removal systematically, making the process overwhelming and more manageable.

Separate Items into Categories

As you begin decluttering, categorize your belongings into three main groups: keep, donate/sell, and discard. Be honest with yourself about what you truly need and use. Items that are broken, outdated, or no longer serve a purpose aren’t worth taking with you. Keep in mind the importance of planning ahead—donating and selling items is worthwhile, but often time consuming as well. Consider donating gently used items to local charities or selling them online to recoup some moving expenses. By organizing your belongings ahead of time, you’ll streamline the decluttering process and make it easier to determine what stays and what goes.

Maximize Space and Efficiency

Moving is an excellent opportunity to evaluate your belongings and minimize clutter in your new home. Take this chance to assess your storage solutions and make improvements where necessary. Invest in storage bins, shelving units, or organizational systems to maximize space in your new home. Opt for multifunctional furniture pieces that offer storage options, such as ottomans with hidden compartments or bed frames with storage space underneath. By optimizing your space and reducing clutter, you’ll create a more enjoyable living environment, and ultimately, a home that’ll you want to spend time in for years to come.
