As we all know, moving is not only a chore but a major life change as well. It can be exciting to move to a new home in another place, but bittersweet as well as you leave cherished memories behind. In an attempt to hold on to those old memories, you may be tempted to hold on to items that you shouldn’t. It doesn’t mean you should throw out your wedding dress or drawings your children made right into a dumpster. Items that have a distinct sentimental value should be kept, but not everything should fall under that designation. You will need a roll-off dumpster before you start throwing out unneeded items. To be sure you know what you want to keep and throw out before your move, here are some suggestions.
Old Clothes and Shoes
We all have one or two items of clothing we keep for sentimental value. If you have more than two or three pieces of clothing or pairs of shoes over a decade old and they are not in good condition, you should dispose of them. Clothes or shoes you no longer want that are in good condition should be donated.
Old Appliances
That old beat-up toaster really isn’t doing you any favors. It should be thrown in your roll-off dumpster with any other old and not quite in working shape appliances. Remember, appliances do not mean your refrigerator or old TV sets. Defective appliances such as blenders, hairdryers, vacuums, fans, or any other household appliance should be thrown into your rental roll-off dumpster before you move.
Old Vitamins and Expired Prescriptions
Why would you want to box up and transport prescriptions that are long past their expiration date and vitamins that have been in the cabinet so long their physical properties have begun to change? These items should be thrown away in your roll-off dumpster prior to moving. These two items, when boxed together, can be quite a load to carry. It is definitely in your favor if you take the time to get rid of old prescriptions and vitamins before your move.
Broken or Worn Furniture
Getting rid of beat-up old furniture before moving can really lighten your load and make the move easier. You may have affection for a certain beat-up old chair, but if you are not going to have it restored it will eventually break down (or apart) on you. Dispose of that old chair in your rental dumpster before your move, and any sofa’s or tables that are not worth saving.
Dilapidated Exercise Equipment
Moving is hard enough without having to take defective exercise equipment with you. Exercise equipment such as home gym is notoriously hard to transport in addition to their unwieldiness if your exercise equipment is broken, it poses a safety risk. Broken exercise equipment should definitely be thrown into your rental roll-off dumpster and save you the headache of moving it from one location to another.
