What to Do with Excess Stuff that You Don’t Want to Toss

It’s only when you’re in the process of moving that you will appreciate just how much stuff that you’ve accumulated over the years and decades. Whether you’re downsizing or relocating for work, you may want to see the moving process as a chance to figure out what to keep and what to toss away. But even after you’ve thrown out or given away what you don’t want, you may find that you can’t store all of what’s left at your new home after the Brampton, ON movers leave.  

Here are some recommendations on what you can do with the excess stuff that you don’t want to throw away.  

Storage Unit 

If you find the right moving company, one of the options available to you will be storage whether long term or short term. There’ll be storage units of varying sizes, so you’ll be able to choose one that matches the space requirements you have. This will provide a great option should you want to hang onto stuff that you can’t store in your new home. Not everyone wants to turn their garage or basement into a storage facility. If this reflects your way of thinking, then a storage unit is something you might want to ask your moving company about. It’s a way to keep stuff you want without cluttering up your living spaces. That’s the best of both worlds.  

Ask Family or Friends 

Do you have family or friends who possess the sort of space that can accommodate some of your excess stuff? You might want to ask them if you can store some of your excess things on their properties for a while. This probably won’t be a permanent solution, but it might give you some time to figure out exactly what you want to do with the excess stuff that you don’t want to part with.  

Yard Sale 

If you have great stuff that you can’t imagine tossing out or giving away, then another option is to sell these items for some cold hard cash. It would probably make the most sense to have the sale before you move rather than after you move. You can get your family or friends to pitch in if you don’t want to go it alone for the yard sale. This is also a great option if you can’t justify the cost of storing your excess stuff or if you can’t store the stuff with family or friends.  

Of the three options mentioned above, the one that probably makes the most sense is the strategy of getting a storage unit.
