Residential moving can be a chaotic and often stressful process. Staying organized is key to remaining in control throughout, but there are other steps that you can take to minimize some of the drama. The first point to consider is how many of your belongings you need to keep. Often, it’s helpful to donate unwanted and unnecessary items. Here are three reasons to consider giving your items a new home.

Why Donate Belongings Before You Move

1. Do a Good Deed

Think about the many belongings you own that you haven’t used in years or new items with tags that you never got around to opening or wearing. With such an abundance of possessions also comes an overwhelming amount of clutter. Donating these unused, gently used, or unwanted items to a new home is one way to help someone out during their time of need. You’ll minimize the mess at the same time, which makes the residential moving process feel less hectic.

2. Minimize the Clutter

Clutter scattered throughout the house contributes to a sense of widespread disorganization. Since moving is most efficiently handled when you have a firm grip on each room’s contents, minimize the clutter as soon as you decide to move.

Imagine all of the items you don’t need taking up space inside your new home; it immediately puts a cloud over that “new” feeling and makes it difficult to organize the new space properly. By reducing the clutter in your existing home, you can feel more comfortable knowing your future home will be as tidy as possible.

3. Spend Less Overall

The more that you plan to transport, the more your residential moving costs will add up. While it’s imperative to bring everything that you use regularly, along with items of a sentimental nature, you should be honest with yourself about the rest—especially if you never really use them at all. By donating them now, you’ll save on the costs associated with everything from packing materials to physically moving.
