Moving house is the perfect opportunity to get rid of the stuff you have been holding onto for years. Old furniture you were going to fix, clothes nobody wears, broken appliances, and the contents of that cupboard you have not opened since you moved in. A skip bin on the driveway during the weeks before your move makes decluttering fast and painless.
When to Order the Skip Bin
Book the bin for 2 to 3 weeks before your moving date. This gives you time to go room by room, sort what you are keeping from what you are tossing, and load the bin at your own pace. Leaving it until the last minute means you end up throwing things in the removalist truck that should have gone in the bin, and paying to move stuff you do not want.
What Size Bin for a Pre-Move Declutter?
For a unit or small house, a 3m3 to 4m3 bin usually handles the declutter. For a family home where you have been living for 5 or more years, a 4m3 to 6m3 bin is more realistic. If you are downsizing from a large home, an 8m3 bin gives you room to clear out properly.
Donate Before You Dump
Before loading the bin, pull out anything that is in good enough condition to donate. Furniture, clothing, kitchenware, books, and toys that still work can go to charity shops. This reduces your skip bin volume and helps someone else out.
End of Lease Cleanouts
If you are renting and need to leave the property clean and empty, a skip bin ensures everything is cleared out by the deadline. The last thing you want is to lose your bond because there was still a pile of junk in the garage on the final inspection day.
