Keep it Clean, Keep Recycling, and Ensure Regular Rubbish Removal
September 10, 2023Arbor Day: Highlighting the Importance of Greening with Trees
September 27, 2023When having to move your house or apartment, there is a lot that you can do yourself to prepare for the event. However, moving is known to be a stressful affair, and it is essential that you don’t proceed before consulting a junk removal specialist.
The reason for this is quite clear. They make moving a breeze because they can do the heavy lifting and clean up when you relocate. As there are so many distinct aspects to moving, there is no way you can expect to do it all yourself. Not only that, but a junk removal specialist will also have the necessary tools and experience to ensure that it is done smoothly and without any hiccups.
Amongst our range of services at Junk Removal Wirral, moving is one that we excel at, helping people relocate to and from our area of operation. Whether a local or long-distance move, we do them all.
How to Do a Smooth Move
During the preparation, keep in mind what you will use the junk removal company for:
- They will take all your throw-out items that you have decided not to take with you on the move. No matter what size or shape, the junk removal company can do them. From appliance removal, old furniture removal, and any other bulky or difficult items that need disposal.
- They will be connected to recycling companies that know how to repurpose or recycle your old stuff. They can also advise you where to donate anything if you feel the need to.
- While not all junk removal companies manage hazardous waste, should you have it, as it’s difficult to do, they can advise on how to do it safely and correctly.
Preparing for the smooth move requires sufficient time, so that it is not rushed, and you feel pressured. So, the following needs to be noted:
- Decide what you need and what you won’t be taking with you.
- Make yourself a timetable that you can follow to track your process.
- Give yourself enough time.
Pack in an Organized Way
According to those in the know, at least two weeks will be needed to prepare and pack for the move. While it is easy to spot what you need, there is a lot of junk normally hidden from view in the back of cupboards and in storerooms that needs to be dealt with.
- Junk is just extra clutter that needs to be put aside. Go through every room, the garage, attic, and basement, and isolate it so that it isn’t included in the mainstream packing.
- Make use of your junk removal specialists to start cleaning the junk, focus on the garden too, and clean up the area where old furniture is and the things that are not functional anymore.
- Put the things that are still useable and could be donated into a separate pile. Old appliances that can be fixed by others are still useful, so try not to deprive others of an opportunity to get some more use out of them.
- Give your first offer to family and friends and let them have a chance to use anything you intend to give away or sell.
- If there are items that you wish to sell, spend some time cleaning them and shining them up to improve your price. Take photos for marketing purposes and list them on social media or an appropriate platform.
- Good advice from others is to be negotiable with your pricing and be prepared to drop it from the asking price, remembering that the primary objective is to sell the stuff. Also let the buyer do the transporting, excluding these costs from the quote.
- Keep as much as possible out of the waste stream that could end up in the landfill and separate for recycling purposes.
- E-waste in particular should be overseen individually as this waste has specific disposal requirements. The same applies to mattress disposal or bulky items that require dismantling before disposal.
Get the Move Done
On the day of the move, the junk removal company will be instrumental in taking all the stress away from you. This is because in moving house they physically assist with various aspects of the moving process Also they help leave the old premises clean and tidy on exit. Some of the key things that they can do are:
- Do the heavy lifting of all the items for removal onto the awaiting truck.
- Removal and dispose of responsibly the old used appliances, furniture, and other effects that are not needed.
- Transport any items that are destined for donations or charities, taking them to their new home.
- Deliver your goods to their new home, without you having to do anything.
Junk Removal and Leaving a Clean Slate
The entire process is very tiring and time-consuming. At the end of it, you’ll be faced with an empty property that still needs cleaning. Given that you are probably exhausted and want to move out to your new home, why not give the job to the junk removal team to complete? They will:
- Do a deep cleaning of the house, sweeping and vacuuming it, making it habitable for the new tenants.
