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

Published: September 01, 2022

It’s often tough to decide what items to keep and which ones to get rid of when moving, especially if the belongings hold sentimental value. UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Wilmington 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

Donate or sell anything you no longer need. Only keep items that are truly necessary and/or portable. How much room does it take up? Do you have enough of a place for it? If not, it goes!

Get organized

To keep better track of what you own, label each item. This includes clothing, furniture, and dinnerware. If you need to get rid of bulk items like clothes or home decorations, consider selling or donating them instead of giving them away for free.

Is it useful and in good condition?

Make sure you check all of your belongings for damage or loss of function. If anything is broken or you don’t use it, get rid of it—particularly if you live in a hot region. Examine your outdoor furniture for signs of wear and tear to determine whether it needs to be maintained or replaced 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 Wilmington. We’re here to help!
