Decluttering before moving has lots of benefits! Having less stuff to move will make the process easier and cheaper (if you are hiring a professional moving company). Furthermore, a clean, clutter-free home always shows better and attracts more buyers. We are here to help make the pre-move decluttering <\/a>process easier! Check out this list of 20 Things to Throw Out When Moving Below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

20 Things to Throw Out When Moving<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

1. Anything Expired-<\/strong> Think food, spices, medicine, makeup.<\/p>

2. Non-essential paperwork and Junk Mail-<\/strong> shred and recycle what you can, of course! <\/p>

3. Outdated Electronics-<\/strong> Phones, computers, VHS players etc. These can all be recycled at an e-waste center. It is against the law to throw electronic waste in municipal trash in Indiana. Learn more about E-Waste Disposal here.<\/a><\/p>

4. Old Clothes and Shoes-<\/strong> If you haven\u2019t worn something in a few years, it is probably time to donate! <\/p>

5. Worn Towels and Sheets- <\/strong>You won\u2019t want these when moving to a new home. The cool thing is that some animal shelters will take these items as donations! <\/p>

6. Old Books and Magazines-<\/strong> Recycle the magazines and donate the books<\/a> to a little free library in your neighborhood. <\/p>

7. Outdated Seasonal Decor-<\/strong> Donate any seasonal decor items you haven\u2019t used in a few years! <\/p>

8. Old Toys- <\/strong>Recycle or toss what\u2019s broken or missing pieces. You can donate the rest! <\/p>

9. Unused Serving Dishes- <\/strong>Do you have serving dishes from your wedding registry that you\u2019ve never used? It\u2019s probably time to donate them!<\/p>

10. Stray Cords-<\/strong> Get rid of any cords or chargers that aren\u2019t used or are no longer needed. Cord clutter is the worst!<\/p>

11. Plastic Containers<\/strong>– We are especially talking about plastic food containers. The time to recycle those Country Crock containers is now! <\/p>

12. Worn Furniture- <\/strong>Old, worn furniture isn\u2019t going to help your house show well. It\u2019s best to get rid of ratty furniture before <\/em>you list your home for sale! <\/p>

13. Old Forms of Media-<\/strong> VHS tapes, cassette tapes, floppy disks, etc. <\/p>

14. Old Rugs- <\/strong>Old rugs are gross, and you won\u2019t want them in your new home! <\/p>

15. Excess Luggage-<\/strong> Luggage can take up a lot of space. You shouldn\u2019t need more than 3 pieces of luggage per person in your household. <\/p>

16. Baby Gear-<\/strong> You probably don\u2019t need these items if you don\u2019t plan on having more kids. Find a friend or someone in your community who could use them instead!<\/p>

17. Mugs- <\/strong>No one needs 30+ coffee cups. Keep the cute ones and recycle or donate the rest! <\/p>

18. Knick Knacks- <\/strong>Are you holding on to home decor items that you don\u2019t love? It\u2019s time to donate those household items now! Moving is a great time to reinvent your style and purge anything that doesn\u2019t make you happy!<\/p>

19. Used Office Supplies:<\/strong> Think journals, half used notebooks, broken crayons, excess pens etc. <\/p>

20. Anything Broken or with Missing Pieces-<\/strong> If it\u2019s been broken for a while, it will probably never be fixed. It\u2019s time to let go! <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
