The holidays are right around the corner, which means it’s time to start preparing. But, before you pull out the holiday decorations and begin decking the halls, there’s one more task you need to add to your holiday “to-do” list: decluttering. This simple, yet often overlooked, chore makes the rest of your holiday preparations easier by adding room for festivities in your home. From organizing your efforts to the importance of a dumpster rental, this guide will make quick work of this important aspect of holiday preparation. 

Make a Plan

Rather than trying to tackle it all at once, make a plan that fits into your schedule. Structure your decluttering project into a room-by-room plan, starting with the kitchen. Holiday meals require a lot of ingredients, and there are usually a lot of sales leading up to it.

Starting with the kitchen enables you to have more room in the pantry for when broth or pie fillings go on sale.  If your schedule is tight, set aside just an hour or two each day to tackle the rooms in the designated order you’ve assigned them to have your home decluttered before guests arrive. 

Keep, Discard, Donate

Set up a station with boxes or bins that are designated collection points for what you want to donate, keep in storage, and throw away. This is the time to take a practical approach. Go through your closets and clear out the clothing and coats you no longer want. Some other items taking up space could include cups and dishes, old toys your kids no longer play with, blankets and linens, and old magazines.  

Rent a Dumpster

Hauling this stuff to the dump by yourself takes time and money, especially if you don’t own a large truck. Dumpster rentals take the stress out of unloading your unwanted items by eliminating unnecessary fees, like the truck rental, gas, and dumping. Dumpster rentals make the process convenient and cost-effective by delivering the dumpster to your home for as long as you need it for a set price.
