Clearing Out Unwanted Items Before Moving
Moving house is a perfect opportunity for a fresh start. Before packing, take the time to declutter and rid yourself of unwanted items, making your move smoother and your new home less cluttered.
Go through your belongings room by room and be honest with yourself. If you have not used an item in a year, it is likely you won’t miss it. Separate items into categories: keep, donate, sell, or dispose of.
Turn unwanted items into cash by selling them online through places like Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree, and eBay. These are great platforms to sell unwanted furniture, clothes, and electronics.
Many charities gladly accept good quality, unwanted items. Consider donating clothes, books, toys, and furniture to local charity shops or organisations that help those in need. For items that cannot be sold or donated, dispose of them responsibly. Take large items to your local recycling centre or arrange for a council collection.
