Published: January 01, 2023

When you’re moving, deciding what to keep and what to get rid of can be tough, especially if the objects have sentimental value. UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Greater Lehigh Valley offers the following suggestions to assist you in deciding what should be kept or discarded.

Only Hold on to What You Use Regularly and Consider Space

When you’re moving, it’s best only to take what truly brings you joy or serves a practical purpose. All the nonessentials should be discarded before relocating. If an item takes up too much space for where you plan on going next, let it go! Keep just the items that are absolutely necessary and make your move easier.

Get Organized

Decluttering is easy and can be done without the burden of throwing away items. Simply consider selling or donating clothes, furniture, plates, and other household belongings that no longer hold value in your life. To ensure you are not losing track of possessions you would like to keep, label them with clarity for future reference.

Is It Useful and in Good Condition?

Thoroughly check all your belongings in the house for any signs of damage or missing parts. When defects are detected, get rid of them right away, particularly when you live in a warm region. Inspect the wear and tear on outdoor furniture to see if they need some makeover. Depending on how harsh the weather is where you live, repair or replacement might be necessary to ensure that everything remains intact and safe to use.

We hope these ideas have helped you decide what to keep and eliminate when moving. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Greater Lehigh Valley. We’re here to help!
