Moving from one home to another can be stressful. Even if you’re excited about the transition, you still have to deal with a lot of upheaval. Though there’s a lot to do and think about, moving is also a great opportunity to go through your things and make some choices about what you want to take with you—and what you’d rather leave behind. 

Checkmate Moving and Storage can’t make the decisions about what to keep and what to get rid of, but they are experts at dealing with your stuff once you sort it out. They offer packing services, storage, and even trash pickup to help make moving in and around Douglas County, Colorado, a breeze.

As for the decision-making, there’s a tried-and-true way to sort through all of your things. As you begin to pack each room, you need to make three piles, including:

• Things To Keep: All the belongings you need and love go in this pile. If it’s useful, take it with you. You can also keep sentimental items, of course, but it’s a good idea to think about where you might like to keep them in your new place.

  Checkmate Moving and Storage will help you pack these belongings and label them with the room where they should go. 

  

• Things To Toss: Anything that’s broken, outdated, or useless should definitely not get a free ride to your new place. Small items can go out with the regular trash, but if you decide to get rid of large items or a whole roomful of junk, Checkmate Moving and Storage has convenient trash services to help you out.
• Things To Donate: If you have items that you don’t want, but that are still in good working order, you should donate them to someone who can use it. The Salvation Army takes clothing as well as furniture and other household items; many other charities accept toys and gift items. You can also consider selling things on Craigslist for some quick cash.
