20 Items to Toss Before You Move
August 27, 2018
If you're planning a move to a new home, one of the top ways to ease the process is to declutter before you begin packing. After all, new digs mean a new start, and there's no reason to hang on to anything that won't have an active role in your new life. To help you get started, McKendree Moving & Storage recommends these 20 items to toss or donate today:
- Items still in boxes from your last move
- Magazines or books you've never read or won't read again
- Clothes that you haven't worn in a year
- Never-worn clothes that still have price tags
- Clothes your kids have outgrown
- Toys your kids haven't played with in ages
- Gifts you received but never used
- Projects you started but never finished
- Expired food items
- Expired medications
- Tax-related paperwork and receipts more than seven years old
- Anything broken, torn or otherwise busted
- Anything you've got too much or too many of
- Anything that won't fit the style of your new home's decor
- Old product boxes
- Takeout menus, especially if you're moving to a new town
- Cheesy specialty coffee mugs
- Outdated technology (You know you still have a floppy disk or cassette tape hanging around)
- Knick-knacky souvenirs and touristy t-shirts
- Rusty tools
