Research suggests that when moving to a new home, one of the simplest ways to reduce the cost of hiring movers is to reduce the amount of possessions that need to be moved. This new guide available from Movers.com explores professional decluttering strategies and packing techniques, as well as the estimated rates for local moving crews.
More information about local mover rates in Yonkers, NY, and professional decluttering techniques can be found in the full report, at https://www.movers.com/moving-guides/deciding-what-to-pack-and-what-not-to-pack-when-moving.html
The new guide provides simple criteria to help readers break their possessions down into three categories: items that should be kept, eliminated, or put into storage. The full report explains each category in-depth and provides a quick flowchart that can be used for making fast decisions.
While the amount that can be eliminated from an upcoming move will vary from person to person, the guide suggests several areas of the house to focus on that often allow occupants to eliminate large amounts of unnecessary items. This includes junk drawers, anything stored in an attic, garage storage, and any items that have already been put away long-term.
Once families have collected all the items they no longer require, there are several methods for disposal, depending on the items in question, and the amount of time available, the guide says. When possible, the expert suggests that homeowners may consider selling items in a public marketplace or through a garage sale.
Families who do not have the time or inclination to sell the excess items can also find several suggestions in the guide about where items can be donated, and which can be recycled. It also contains a list of items that should not be eliminated and suggests that readers double-check to ensure that no “must-have” items accidentally end up in a disposal pile.
For homeowners who have completed decluttering, the moving expert offers a simple tool that can help them estimate the rates for professional moving crews. After entering information about their upcoming move into a quote request, readers will receive up to 7 estimates from pre-screened local moving crews, with no cost or obligation.
