Pre Move Out Cleanouts

Our pre- and post-move clean-out is ideal for college graduates, seniors, newlyweds, professionals, and divorcees. Moving is a strenuous task within itself. Combined with the post-cleanup, it becomes a major task for multiple people. Fortunately, the clean-out does not need to be difficult or time-consuming. Our team is comprised of removal experts with a combined decade of experience.

Pre- & Post-Cleanout Tips For DIYers

When the necessary resources are readily available, a do-it-yourself clean-out is on the table. It is important to note, our removal experts can join your DIY clean-out team at any time throughout the process. 

The below tips will ensure an efficient pre- or post-cleanout for one person or a team:

• Develop a pre- and post-cleanout strategy
• Contact your resources (junk removal contractor, household waste management service, and local charity for pickup details) in advance
• Rent a dumpster (a necessity for large cleanouts)
• Keep the work area organized by keeping “recyclables,” “donation items,” and “junk” in separate piles
• Start in the furthest part of the home, working toward the entrance
• Dispose of junk periodically to keep it from piling up
• Hire our junk removal team to handle recyclable, donation, and junk items and materials

Label Moving Boxes

It cannot be stressed enough, the stressors of relocating for business, career, school, or other personal purposes are too many to mention in this article. Accepting the challenge will put you a step ahead in the process.

A common and very costly mistake people make when moving is the misplacement of wanted items. For example, an 18-year-old relocating for college misplaces an expensive laptop while packing. If the laptop is never located, it becomes a major financial loss and this is not to mention, the costly replacement.

Misplacement and other similar mishaps can be avoided through a systematic packing process. Label all boxes before filling to ensure only the intended items go into each box. Some people tend to utilize general labels, such as individual rooms. However, labeling is more effective when the labels are more detailed and direct. One label example is “Children’s Electronic Devices.” The box should only be utilized for kids’ electronic gadgets, such as a Nintendo Switch Lite, DJI Drone, VTech KidiZoom PrintCam, Kindle Kids, Apple MacBook Pro, Gskyer Telescope, and Sony TV.

Labeling boxes will go a long way in helping minimize the risk of lost items. Taking the extra step to list the stored items on the front of the box can also help.

Post-Move Junk Removal

Once consumers decide an item is no longer needed or wanted, it becomes junk. Not literally, but junk nonetheless. The old saying “someone’s junk is another’s treasure” definitely applies to this situation.

Donating unwanted items to local charities, needy families, friends, neighbors, classmates, and co-workers allows people to reduce their moving carbon footprint. Keeping unwanted items out of local landfills is giving back to the local community.

Charities sometimes offer local pickup for large donations like appliances, exercise equipment, nonworking cars, furniture, ATVs, dishes, and home décor.

Our Moving Junk Removal Service

Junk comes in all shapes and sizes. The larger the item, the more resources it takes to dispose of it. Moving requires intent focus to ensure nothing is misplaced, damaged, or thrown out in the trash. Hiring our removal team to deal with the junk allows consumers to focus on packing.

We encourage consumers to recycle their appliances, electronics, metal scrap, and glass items.
