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

Published: July 01, 2022

Do you have to move and have a lot of stuff to pack? It’s difficult to know what should be saved and what should be discarded, especially if it has any value. UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Greensboro 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

Take a good look at everything you encounter on a daily basis. Anything that isn’t utilized frequently should be sold unless it’s something small and compact. Consider how much space the item takes up in your house and whether you have enough room as well. If you don’t have enough area for it, anything big and bulky should be thrown out.

Get organized

Create categories for each thing. It will be a lot easier to keep track of what you need and eliminate what you don’t if you do this. Categories include clothing, furnishings, and dinnerware, among other things. Consider charity or selling your items rather than giving them away if you have a large number of clothes or home decor.

Is it useful and in good condition?

Examine your valuables to ensure nothing has been damaged or is no longer useful. It’s time to get rid of any broken items or ones that are no longer needed, especially if you live in a hot environment. Check your patio furniture for signs of wear and tear and determine whether it should be kept or recycled depending on the weather.

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