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

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 Jacksonville 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 something in your life doesn’t make you happy or doesn’t have a practical purpose, get rid of it. Keep only what you absolutely need with you when relocating, and consider whether the item takes up too much space for where you’re going next. If it won’t fit, then time to say goodbye!

Get Organized

To not lose your possessions, label them. This is key for articles of clothing, furniture, and dishes. If you accumulated too many things and want to get rid  (for example, clothes or wall decor), consider selling or giving them to someone instead of simply throwing them away.

Is it Useful and in Good Condition?

Inspect every item in your home for damage or missing pieces. If anything is broken, discard it, especially if you live somewhere warm. Examine the wear and tear on your outdoor furniture to see if it requires fixing. Depending on the climate, repair or replacement might be needed.

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 Jacksonville. We’re here to help!
