Organisation and planning
Before calling the removal company why not first get organised and sort through all your belongings. While this might seem like a time consuming task, it will be worth it and should be done well before the movers arrive. If you’re too busy to reserve a few hours throughout the week, then take a weekend to categorise your items.
We advise separating your items into four separate piles.
1. Items you want to keep
2. Unwanted items for the rubbish heap/recycle
3. Items to donate to charity
4. Items to sell
Remember to label all your boxes to avoid any confusion when it comes to waste removal or property clearance! You don’t want to throw away any valuable belongings!
Man and van hire
Now you’ve taken care of all the sorting, it’s time to decide how you’re going to best take care of rubbish removal. There are various options you can choose from to safely dispose of all your junk in one foul swoop. One of the most popular being a man and van hire service. This package will allow you to hire a van and a driver to load your unwanted belongings or recycling and transport them to the local landfill or recycling centre.
Professional Clearance Company
If you can afford to have someone else take care of all your property clearance need, then hiring clearance professionals will ensure all your waste disposal is conducted with reliability and efficiency. All you’ll have to do is point to what needs going where and can then sit back and relax, safe in the knowledge that your junk will be safely disposed of.
DIY
Having the time as well as the energy for a do-it-yourself junk disposal will save you money. You’ll also know exactly what needs to be taken to the local tip, the recycling centre and can choose which charity shop you want to take belongings to. Remember that many charity shops are very particular about what they’ll accept, so don’t use them to try and offload items in less than pristine condition!
Peddle unwanted items
While you may have no use for your now grown children’s crib or baby clothes, there are people out there who love a bargain! Why not try to sell any items you don’t to take to your new home that are too good to simply toss out as waste! You can register with an online auction site, or even have your own car boot sale! The extra cash could come in more than useful with moving expenses.
Hopefully these tips have been beneficial and will contribute to a stress-free moving experience for you and your family. Remember that if you choose the DIY route, why not employ the help of good friends or neighbours to get the task completed faster and amongst good company!
