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

Published: August 01, 2022

Do you have to move and need to pack your belongings? It’s difficult to know what should be kept and what should be thrown away, especially if it holds sentimental worth. UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Greenville 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 the time to go through everything you use daily. Unless it’s something tiny and portable, anything that isn’t utilized regularly should be sold. Consider how much room the object occupies in your home and whether you have enough space. Anything huge or bulky that doesn’t fit within your available area should be eliminated

Get organized

Create labels for each item. It will be a lot simpler to keep track of what you need and don’t if you do this. Clothes, furnishings, and dinnerware are examples of categories. Consider donating or selling your items rather than giving them away if you have a big volume of apparel or home décor to give away.

Is it useful and in good condition?

Examine your valuables to ensure nothing has been damaged or is no longer functional. It’s time to get rid of any broken items or ones that aren’t being used, especially if you live in a hot environment. Examine your patio furniture for signs of wear and tear and whether it should be kept or recycled depending on the weather.

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 Greenville. We’re here to help!
