You can start your pre-move purge with getting rid of clothes you haven’t worn. I know this can be the hardest part but if you haven’t worn it in the last year then it is time to say goodbye. If the clothes are worn or outdated then you have to make the plunge with lightening your load. Get rid of any electric appliances you won’t be using. Some places won’t allow for older things and you can always get another one if you’re unsure whether you need it.
Key Takeaways:
- Before moving, print out the floor plan of your new home and try to determine where your furniture and other items will go.
- Outdated or broken appliances and electronics probably won’t be accepted for donation.
- Move for Hunger will accept donations of non-perishable food items like breakfast cereal and canned vegetables.
