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

Published: October 01, 2022

It can be tough to decide what items to keep and get rid of when moving, especially if they hold sentimental value. UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Charlotte 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

Anything you don’t need should be discarded or donated. Only keep what’s truly essential to you and/or can be readily moved. Consider how much space it takes up and if you have enough room for it in your new home. Time to let go if you don’t!

Get organized

Keep track of what you have by labeling each object. Clothes, furnishings, and dinnerware are examples of objects that should be labeled. Consider selling or giving away unwanted items instead of giving them away for free if you have a lot of stuff to get rid of, such as clothes or home decorations.

Is it useful and in good condition?

Inspect all of your belongings for damage or missing parts. If anything is unusable, get rid of it, especially if you live in a warm climate. Analyze your outdoor furniture for wear and tear to see whether it needs, depending on the weather, repair or replacement might be necessary.
