Moving? How Junk Removal Can Save You Time and Money

Target Keyword: junk removal when moving

Moving is stressful enough without dragging a bunch of stuff you do not even want to your new home. Whether you are moving across Los Angeles or across the country, junk removal before a move can save you significant time, money, and frustration. Here is how.

Why You Should Declutter Before You Move

Every item you bring to your new home costs money to move. Moving companies charge by weight or by the truckload. The more stuff you bring, the more you pay. Here is the math:

• The average cross-town move in LA costs $1,000 to $3,000.
• The average long-distance move can cost $4,000 to $10,000+.
• Moving companies estimate that 20-30% of what most people move is stuff they do not actually need or want.

That means you could be paying $200 to $3,000 to move junk to a new location where it will continue to collect dust. It makes far more sense to get rid of it before moving day.

What to Get Rid of Before a Move

Walk through every room and ask yourself: “Would I buy this again if I did not already own it?” If the answer is no, it should go. Common items people shed before a move include:

• Old or worn-out furniture that will not fit the new space
• Duplicate kitchen items and gadgets you never use
• Clothing that no longer fits or is out of style
• Books, magazines, and CDs/DVDs you will never revisit
• Exercise equipment that has become a clothes rack
• Outdated electronics and tangled cords
• Kids’ toys and baby gear they have outgrown
• Holiday decorations you are tired of
• Garage and shed clutter

How Junk Removal Saves You Money on Moving Day

Consider the costs you eliminate by decluttering before the move:

• Lower moving company fees: Fewer items mean a smaller truck and fewer labor hours.
• Fewer packing supplies: Less stuff to wrap and box means less tape, bubble wrap, and cardboard.
• Faster packing and unpacking: You spend less time on both ends of the move.
• Smaller storage unit: If you need temporary storage, a smaller unit costs less per month.
• Tax deductions: Items donated to qualified charities may be tax-deductible.
