Moving is a strenuous activity. The process of packing, loading and unloading all your belongings can be harsh enough without the added hassle of having to take care of rubbish removal after you have moved into your new home. How do you get rid of the rubbish left behind by the previous occupants? How do you know what items are considered to be classified as “rubbish”? How do you dispose of these items correctly? Those questions and more will be answered in this blog post.

As the moving company is packing up your belongings, they will also take care of any rubbish left behind by the old occupants. Disposing of this type of rubbish falls under their remit and responsibility because it is considered part of completing a move. However, if you want to get rid or dispose of items that are not classed as “rubbish”, such as food waste, then you can do so yourself – but only after consulting with your local council offices for advice on where best to dump these materials.

Prepare Your Stuff

Prepare those things which you do not want to carry with you to your new home or office. To save money, you can take these items to a charity shop or give them away to friends and family. Alternatively, if the things are still in good condition, then donate them to an organisation such as The Salvation Army so that they may be re-used by somebody else who could benefit from it. It is best not to throw any of your unwanted belongings out with rubbish because there is no guarantee that it will end up at a recycling plant where they can go on to do some more work for our environment. Instead, try donating those goods which others might find helpful too.

Start Packing Early

If you start early packings, then it will be easier to do it and less stressful. It is best not to leave everything until the last minute as this will make packing more complex, with you feeling rushed or stressed throughout. Start by sorting through your home and putting anything that needs moving into a pile for storage away from your home so that there are fewer items in each room during the packing process. This includes clothes which should have been sorted out already at least 12 weeks before the move date but any other objects too such as books, CDs, DVDs etc., although these can be taken along if they are light enough; don’t overpack!

Pack Important Items First

You should pack all the essential items first for moving like passports, birth certificates and deeds. It is also necessary to fill your most valued items first so that they are not lost in the shuffle of packing for a move. This might include family keepsakes or other sentimental objects which you don’t want to lose. You should always take photos before packing these items away just in case you need them later on down the track when unpacking at your new home; this will help with any nostalgia issues about forgetting that particular item, as well as provide some extra reassurance during tough times like death etc., providing comfort such as knowing things can be replaced but memories cannot.

Organise Electronic Waste And Defrost the Freezer

It is always essential to remember electronic waste before you pack so that they are not lost in the shuffle of packing for a move. It might include old computers, printers, games consoles, televisions and microwaves if you still have them at your place or any other electrical items such as vacuum cleaners which will need to be plugged back into power when arriving at your new location. You should take photos of these items beforehand if they break down during transit; this will help with any disappointment about forgetting an item and providing extra reassurance during tough times. Frozen food can also go off while being moved around, so it’s best to defrost the freezer before driving to a new home.

For Green Trash Removal

The following items you should look at are the green trash. This will include garden furniture, pots and pans, or anything else with a large surface area to contact the soil. You shouldn’t be moving around broken glass too much, so they should go into their box as they can easily cut someone if not careful enough when packing up everything after a move. You need to start a new garden at your new place, so what should you keep and what you left, that thing you have to decide and take time to do those as early as possible.

What Do You Need To Do?

The first thing you need to do is find out what the laws are in your area. You must know if certain materials can be taken with just trash bags or not and whether they will take it for free. If it is a fee-based service, then it would make more sense to hire someone else instead of doing the heavy lifting yourself – but this depends on how much money you have available at the time too. There are often other ways to responsibly dispose of items like green waste, electronics, batteries etc., so research before deciding which method is best for your specific situation!
