Moving to a new home in the Chicago suburbs is an exciting time, but it can also be overwhelming. One of the best ways to make your move easier and more cost-effective is to declutter before you pack. Here are the top 10 items you should remove before moving day.
1. Old Furniture and Appliances
That worn-out couch or outdated refrigerator taking up space in your garage? Moving is the perfect time to upgrade. Our junk removal services in Naperville, Aurora, and throughout DuPage County can haul away large furniture and appliances quickly.
2. Unused Exercise Equipment
Treadmills, ellipticals, and weight benches often end up as expensive clothing racks. If you haven’t used your exercise equipment in over a year, it’s time to let it go. We specialize in heavy item removal throughout the Chicago suburbs.
3. Broken Electronics
Old computers, TVs, and electronics shouldn’t be thrown in the trash. We ensure proper recycling and disposal of electronics in compliance with Illinois environmental regulations, helping Lombard and Downers Grove residents move responsibly.
4. Outdated Clothing and Textiles
Go through your closets and remove clothing you haven’t worn in a year. We can help donate usable items and properly dispose of worn-out textiles, reducing your moving costs significantly.
5. Old Paint Cans and Chemicals
Hazardous materials require special handling. Our team can safely remove old paint, chemicals, and other hazardous materials from your Hinsdale or Oak Brook home before your move.
6. Damaged or Unwanted Tools
Broken lawnmowers, rusty tools, and equipment you’ll never use again just add weight to your move. Let us haul away these items from your garage or basement.
7. Old Mattresses and Box Springs
Mattresses are bulky and expensive to move. If yours is over 8 years old, consider replacing it and having us remove the old one before moving day.
8. Excess Books and Magazines
Books are heavy and take up valuable box space. Donate books you’ve already read or digitize important documents to lighten your load.
9. Duplicate Kitchen Items
Multiple sets of dishes, cookware you never use, and outdated small appliances can all go. Streamline your kitchen before packing to save time and money.
10. Yard Waste and Outdoor Items
Old patio furniture, broken planters, and accumulated yard waste should be cleared before moving. We offer comprehensive yard cleanout services throughout the Chicago suburbs.
