How to Decide What to Throw Away During Your Move to Los Angeles

Published: January 01, 2021

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 Los Angeles 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

During a move, it’s important only to take the items that bring you joy or have a purposeful use. Any nonessential possessions should be discarded before relocating. If an item doesn’t fit in your new space, don’t bother bringing it along! Instead, focus on just those essentials which will make your transition smoother and easier.

Get Organized

Simplifying your surroundings is an effortless task, and you don’t need to throw away the items that no longer bring value to your life. If appropriate, think about selling or donating old clothes, furniture pieces, plates, and other domestic objects. To ensure nothing gets misplaced from what needs to stay (but maybe just isn’t necessary at this point), label them with precision for future reference.

Is It Useful and in Good Condition?

Carefully inspect all your household items for any signs of damage or missing components. In warmer climates, it is essential to discard defective products immediately. Likewise, take a look at the outdoor furniture and see if they need some restoration. Depending on the climate you live in, repairs or replacements may be necessary to guarantee that everything remains secure and functional.

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 Los Angeles. We’re here to help!
