Move-Out Trash and Junk Removal Tips

If you are planning to move out of a rental property, your landlord may want you to remove any trash or unwanted items before vacating the premises. Some landlords or property managers may have specific guidelines or procedures for handling move-out trash, and may also lay down trash disposal instructions. A Santa Rosa junk removal service, such as North Bay Junk Removal, will ensure all local regulations and guidelines for waste disposal and recycling are followed.

Tips for Managing Move-out Trash

Here are a few simple, yet effective tips to help you save money, time, and resources when handling move-our trash.

Plan Ahead

Start decluttering well in advance of your move. Categorize items into different groups: things to keep, donate, sell, recycle, and throw away. Use labeled boxes or bins for each category to make the sorting process easier. Create a moving checklist and use it to keep track of tasks, including handling trash and unwanted items.

Donate or Sell Unwanted Items

Consider donating items that are in working condition but no longer needed. Many charitable organizations accept furniture, clothing, and household items. If you need cash, sell unwanted items online or to local consignment shops. Alternatively, organize a garage sale. 

Schedule Bulk Item Pickups

Schedule Junk Hauling services with North Bay Junk Removal to collect your bulky items. We collect furniture, hot tubs, mattresses, large appliances and more.

Rent a Dumpster or Trash Bin

If you have a significant amount of trash, consider renting a dumpster or trash bin. A dumpster can accommodate large amounts of trash and help simplify the “move out trash” removal process.

Take Advantage of Recycling Programs

If your community has a recycling program, separate recyclable materials such as paper, glass, plastic, metal, and cardboard from regular trash and send them to the local recycling center. If the recycling center does not accept e-waste such as old computers and televisions, look for electronics retailers that are equipped to recycle them.
