Your next move is an opportunity to purge and clean house of clutter and unwanted belongings - you don’t have to take everything with you in your next move! As a first step to planning a smooth move, here are some ideas to help you make your move much more efficient and a little less overwhelming.
Recycle Newspaper, magazines, catalogs, junk mail, plastic containers, glass containers and aluminum cans can be recycled through weekly curbside pick up at your home by Orange or Seminole county services.
Donate Goodwill and Salvation Army are not your only options for your donations. Consider donating to your local pet shelter, school, church or veteran’s group.
Give Away Give away your goods to family, friends, co-workers and neighbors; you never know what they may need or have an interest in. Just ask that they pick up the goods immediately.
Sell For unwanted belongings that have still have value, consider selling them. You get rid of an item you don’t want anymore and recoup a little cash along the way.
Craigslist is ideal for selling large, unshippable items such as furniture, cars and yard/garden tools. Amazon is ideal for shippable media items such as books, CDs, DVDs and video games. Ebay is ideal for smaller, shippable items such as clothing, shoes, handbags, jewelry, art, antiques and home décor. A garage sale is ideal for a quick, one day liquidation of your unwanted (but not junk) belongings.
Throw Away If you’re unable to recycle, donate, give away or sell your unwanted belongings, do yourself a favor – throw them away immediately. Don’t think twice about it, just let it go.
