Pack for a Move

If this year will bring a change in location, packing is probably on your list of priorities. The process can be overwhelming, especially if you’re trying to downsize. Here are some tips to streamline the process:

1. Start now. Even if you won’t be moving for months, begin to sort your stuff in advance. Pack out-of-season items or things you rarely use. While you’re sorting, start to consider if you need to pack them at all. Start to separate items you want to donate or discard.
2. Gather supplies. Save yourself some money by reusing cardboard boxes. Collect containers and wrap that comes with items already shipped to you.
3. Strategize. Packing is easier one room at a time. Set a schedule with what rooms you want to tackle and when. This makes it easier to focus and label the boxes. Labeling also helps make unpacking easier.
4. Save essentials for last. Pack items you’ll need immediately after a move in a separate box. This way you don’t have to rip open everything to find bedding, toiletries, and a change of clothes.
5. Document. If you’ll be taking furniture and other complicated items apart before packing, take a photo of it to remind you how it’s assembled and all the necessary components.

Once you’re packed, JDog Junk Removal & Hauling can help you move the boxes to the new location, whether it’s to a new home, storage facility, or donation center.

Clearing Out Storage

If you already have a storage unit that needs clearing out, JDog Junk Removal & Hauling can help with that too. While you’re cleaning out your storage container, consider whether you really need the items. How long has it been in storage? If you’ve lived without it before, is it better to donate the item? This could be a better solution if you’re trying to downsize or have to move it to another storage facility.
