Moving – Getting rid of unwanted furniture

When you are moving there is always something that you do not want to take with you; however, when you have the move to organize, it is very easy to forget that you need to do something about your unwanted items and you can end up taking them along even though you do not want to keep them.

If you have a lot of furniture that you want to offload, there are several ways that you can do this; however, you need to start well in advance of your house move. Try to sell these items first – the extra money always comes in handy at a time such as this and there is no reason why you should not try to make a little extra cash. There are plenty of websites and local newspapers where you can list the items for sale.

If you think an item is not worth very much but that it still has some use in it, why not give it to a local charity? There are plenty of organizations out there that will collect your old furniture and pass it on to those who need it. There may be restrictions on what can be donated, but you should be able to get rid of many items in this way.

Finally, give your unwanted furniture away online. There are plenty of recycling websites where you can list the items and pass them on to somebody who can make use of them ‒ one man’s junk is another man’s treasure! No money changes hands and everybody benefits. This includes the environment, as your relocation will have less of an impact.
