Junk can be overwhelming. Things aren’t made to last like they used to be, and the modern-day has made the accumulation of useless things all too easy. Few things are as satisfying as finally getting around to cleaning out that garage, room or basement that has become the junk drawer for your entire house.
Unfortunately, the act of cleaning and organizing can leave you with the equally daunting task of getting rid of all the junk that can accumulate while separating the junk from the stuff that’s worth keeping.
Luckily, when you’ve finally taken that first step in organizing a massive accumulation of stuff and need help dealing with the mountain of junk you just created, the professionals here at JunkStart are here for you.
Steps To Take Before Junk Removal
There are several steps everyone can take when preparing for residential junk removal. To facilitate the most effective and efficient junk removal, it’s important that you have a clear plan of action and there is as little confusion as possible regarding what should and shouldn’t be thrown away.
Here are a few simple tips to make junk sorting as simple as possible:
Make A List
It’s rare that anyone ever sits down and truly makes an honest assessment of the things that they own. Writing down a list of your possessions has several benefits, and you may be surprised by some of the things you have.
Cleaning and organizing create an opportune time to itemize your possessions into a simple-to-read list. This will also help us gauge the requirements of your junk removal situation.
Think About Resale
Even if you think your possessions aren’t worth much, a little bit of research can go a long way — and people are often surprised by just how much their things are worth.
The 3-Pile Rule
When sorting things, working by the 3-pile rule can help a lot. While sorting, separate things into three distinct piles “keep”, “give away/sell” and “junk”. Keeping track of these three categories of items as the cleaning process is taking place will go a long way in saving you stress and confusion down the line.
Breathe
We understand that organizing a lot of things can be stressful and overwhelming. When things become too much and you want to quit, it’s important to take a step back and breathe.
Remember that you are the hero of your situation and that you’ve already taken the first step to a more organized clutter-free life. Take things in steps and be proud of every bit of progress you make.
