Reasons to Downsize

Downsizing may be prompted by a few life changes.

• Children grown and out of the house
• The desire to be unburdened by a lifetime of accumulations
• Moving to a smaller house or trading in the family home for a condo
• Divorce or death of a spouse
• Foreclosure

When you give yourself permission to get rid of things you no longer need, the feeling of accomplishment is heightened by an uncluttered home that is easier to keep in order.

What to Do With the Old Items

Once you decide what things you want to keep, it's time to get rid of the old stuff. You have several options.

• Donate. Homeless shelters and social organizations are always looking for furniture and home appliances. Donating things that are still too good to throw away, but you no longer need, can be a blessing for others.
• Sell. If your furniture is clean and in good-repair, you may be able to sell some of it. College students and young adults who are just starting out are possible customers. 
• Recycle. You may be able to use some of your furniture in a different capacity or know someone who can. Reuse or alter what you simply can't part with. Deliver the rest to a recycling facility. 
• Trash. Products last only so long. Some things will be destined for the dumpster.
  

The Benefits of Hiring a Professional Removal Company

A professional service can be much more cost-effective because you won't have the expense of hiring a moving truck to relocate large items. When you hire a professional, you get to spend your time enjoying your new space rather than trying to sort through all of your old and unwanted things. A professional company can haul away just about anything but be sure to ask about items they are unable to take such as chemicals, paint and tires.
