How to Decide What to Throw Away During Your Move to Birmingham

Published: November 01, 2022

It may be tough to figure out what needs to stay and what must go when shifting, especially if the objects have personal significance. UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Birmingham 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

If an item brings you no joy and has no practical purpose, get rid of it. Keep only what you need or can easily take with you when relocating. And think about whether the item takes up too much space and if it will fit in your new living quarters. If not, then time to say goodbye!

Get Organized

To keep track of your belongings, be sure to label them. This is especially important for clothes, furniture, and dinnerware. If you have too many items and need to get rid of some (for example, clothes or home decorations), think about selling or giving them away instead of just giving them away for free.

Is it Useful and in Good Condition?

Check every item in your house for damage or missing parts. If anything is broken, get rid of it, especially if you live somewhere warm. Look at the wear and tear on your outdoor furniture to see if it needs to be fixed. Depending on the climate, repair or replacement might be necessary.

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