Do you have to relocate and must pack your belongings? It’s tough to determine what should be kept and what should be discarded, especially if it has any sentimental value. UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Ventura County 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 time to examine everything you use on a daily basis. Everything that isn’t used regularly should be sold unless it’s something tiny and portable. Consider how much room the item takes up in your home and whether you have enough space as well. Anything big or bulky that doesn’t fit within your available space should be discarded.

Get organized

Create categories for each thing. If you do this, it’ll be a lot easier to keep track of what you need and what you don’t. Categories include things like clothes, furnishings, and dinnerware. If you have a large amount of clothing or home décor to give away, consider donating or selling them instead.

Is it useful and in good condition?

Examine your valuables to be sure nothing has been damaged or is no longer functional. It’s time to get rid of any broken objects or ones that aren’t anymore needed, particularly if you live in a hot climate. Examine your patio furniture for signs of wear and tear and 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 Ventura County. We’re here to help!
