Moving Out? Junk Removal Checklist for Poulsbo

Before you pack everything in Poulsbo and haul it to your new place, take a hard look at what's worth bringing. This guide helps you decide.

The Math: Why Decluttering Before Moving Saves Money

Moving companies charge by weight and volume. Removing 25% of your belongings before a move can significantly reduce your moving costs.

Plus, junk removal is typically cheaper than moving those same items to a new location and disposing of them later.

Room-by-Room Declutter Checklist

Living Room - Old magazines and books you won't reread - Worn-out furniture (that couch you've been meaning to replace) - Outdated electronics (old DVD players, obsolete cables) - Decor you won't use in the new space

Kitchen - Duplicate utensils, pots, and pans - Chipped dishes and mismatched sets - Expired pantry items - Appliances you never use

Bedrooms - Clothes you haven't worn in a year - Old mattresses (get a new one for the new place) - Broken furniture - Old bedding and pillows

Garage / Storage - Broken tools and equipment - Dried-out paint and chemicals - Sports equipment nobody uses - Holiday items you don't display anymore

Bathroom - Expired medications and toiletries - Old towels and linens - Broken or unused items

Timing Your Junk Removal

Schedule junk removal 1–2 weeks before moving day. This gives you time to: 1. Sort through everything room by room 2. Have items removed 3. Clean the space before the final walkthrough
