Easy Ways to Unload the Items You Don't Need Anymore

Maybe you feel like doing some spring cleaning or maybe you feel like to need to edit your belongings so that your home is uncluttered for your showings.  For whatever reason you wish to purge your extra belongings there are a few solutions to make it easier for you.

For starters, going green and recycling your unwanted goods seems like a great way to go.  Consider donating to the Salvation Army, Goodwill, or other local charities.  You can even get a tax break for your donation.  Keep your eyes open for local charities who send out bags in the mail and ask you to fill them with your unwanted household items and leave them on the curb for them to pick up.  It is easy and goes to great causes.  Locally, I have seen charities for US Veterans as well as the Lupus Foundation.  I am sure there are many more.

If you just feel the need to purge and get rid of items, NOW, you can purchase a "Bagster" from Waste Management.  It is a heavy-duty dumpster bag that you purchase at your local home improvement store.  The bag fits up to 3000 lbs of debris.   You fill it at your own leisure and when you are ready to have it hauled away, you can schedule a time (online or via phone) to have Waste Management pick it up and haul it away.  Check out their website for more details http://www.thebagster.com/products/overview.aspx

Finally, there are some great services like 1-800-GOT-JUNK  These guys will come in and haul away whatever you want.  you just show them where it is and they do the heavy lifting.  Their services include coming into your home and hauling what you want so you don't have to bother compiling your items in one spot (like a garage).  This is a great option for those who have really heavy items to get rid of or who physically can not move the amount of items they wish to discard.  The brand is national and you can schedule on-line.  They charge by how much room your items take up on their truck.
