How to Decide What to Throw Away During Your Move to Winston-Salem

Published: August 01, 2022

Do you have to relocate and need to pack your belongings? It’s tough to know what should be kept and what should be discarded, especially if it has sentimental value. UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Winston-Salem 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 the time to go through everything you use on a daily basis. Whatever isn’t utilized regularly should be sold or donated unless it’s portable. Consider how much space the item takes up in your home and whether you have enough room as well. Anything large or bulky that doesn’t fit into your allotted area should be gotten rid of.

Get organized

Create labels for each item. It will be much simpler to keep track of what you require and don’t if you do this. Categories include clothing, furniture, and dinnerware. If you have a large amount of apparel or home décor to give away, consider donating or selling rather than giving it away.

Is it useful and in good condition?

Examine your valuables for damage or loss of function to ensure that nothing has been harmed. It’s time to get rid of damaged goods or ones that aren’t being utilized, especially if you live in a hot environment. 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 get rid of when moving. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Winston-Salem. We’re here to help!
