How to Decide What to Throw Away During Your Move to Fort Lauderdale

Published: June 01, 2022

Do you need to move and have a lot of things to pack? It’s difficult to know what should be kept and what should be discarded, especially if it has sentimental value. UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Fort Lauderdale 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

Consider all of the items you come into contact with on a daily basis. You should consider selling anything that isn’t used on a regular basis. Consider how much room the item takes up in your house and whether you have enough space as well. If you don’t have enough area for it, anything big and bulky should be discarded.

Get organized

Create categories for each thing. If you do this, keeping what you need and getting rid of what you don’t will be much easier. Clothing, furniture, and dinnerware are examples of categories. Consider donating or selling old clothes or home décor rather than throwing them away if you have a lot of them.

Is it useful and in good condition?

Examine your belongings to be sure nothing has been damaged or is no longer useful. It’s time to get rid of any broken items or those that are no longer needed, especially if you live in a hot climate. Check your patio furniture for signs of deterioration and decide 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 Fort Lauderdale. We’re here to help!
